Is this normal ?, ai prime violet not working

Shawaiz_106 · Aug 13, 2021

I'm not sure why but my ai primes violet colour just isn't working, idk if we just can see the wavelength ( what a quick Google search said ) or my light is broken.

Here is a picture of the light turned to full violet, also is the violet led important or can I still use the light without it ?

It’s really really hard to see.

Oh no I meant it’s normal when the UV is really hard to see that it’s on.

You should be able to see the violet on this light. It's spectrum is visible to the human eye. Turn off all other channels except for the uv and set it to 100% intensity. If you don't see anything at all, it's likely burnt out.

UV LEDs are some of the most common ones to fail, I replace them all the time across many different brands.

I can see ultraviolet but not violet, on the main app they have different channels

This is what it looks like with 100% uv :

Violet won't be bright at all. Looks to me like it's gone. A close up of the light with just the violet on would be better, but again, I don't think the violet is working at all.

This is a close up with just violet at 100%, the led circled is the one supposed to b violet I think ( only one not turning on )

Yeah, this is violet and it's not on at all.

Is it important ?, I'm just starting out and won't b keeping any sps and don't really want to spend more on a new light

why cant you just get the violet and replace that one ? It would require knowing how to solder etc, but you may be able to find someone who knows how to do that stuff if you dont

Without the violet, the complete spectrum is different. How exactly it affects health/growht has always been a subject of heated debates that I'm not getting into.
You are lucky your light still works without one. In most cases I get in for repair, the light will shut off completely as it detects an issue with one channel.

Where can I get violet led ?, I live in ireland so there isn't much support from companies like aquailluminations

Any chance it could just b a burnt lens ?
