I still use my 16k 160watt version on my frags and it's 4 years old still going strong. Only thing I've had to do was replaced the lenses cause the originals were cheap and burnt/browned over on the blues.

I wonder why some of the LED got bad and wonder if I can get them and replace them or go some where to buy them

Is it random LEDs or an entire channel? Like are all the blues from ch2 out?

If you can see the corner ones all 4 don’t work and also the two middle ones don’t work

Well here’s what they should look like. I’m guessing it might just be the blue ch2 drivers. I’m not an electronics guru but I’d start with a new driver board. Only $50 from Maxspect.

Question sorry I May sound stupid but what does it the driver board do sorry about so many questions?

It's nps, it's what makes the led bulbs turn on. It's an electronic circuit board that plugs in inside the fixture, very easy to replace.

So by changing that the problem will be ok that’s what you are telling me correct if that’s the deal I will order it because I really need it to work again!

I would first swap a working puck with the one that is not.

This will tell you for sure if it is a driver or the LED’s.

The you can order the correct part for sure.

I had to replace a puck on my 420R early on and then they lasted without issue till I got a bigger tank.

Never had any lense issues.

Am new with this how do I do that sorry for the dumb question but so you are telling me just to change the puck is that the led light ? And if it’s how do I do it sorry again.

I don't recall from memory how to do it and unfortunately I am not at home.

The "puck" is the square piece with the LED lights in it.

I know you lay the light upside down on a flat surface. then, I believe on the end opposite the controls, you remove the end plate, then you just keep sliding out the spacers and pucks (which you must unplug).

If blues on ALL clusters / pucks do NOT turn on, then it is the driver / circuit board.

Yeah that’s about right because when the menu say turn led on it won’t do none so yeah am guessing it will be the problem and if I buy that and it won’t work I don’t think I can return it correct ?
