My ReefBright LED 24" strip is flashing on and off all of a sudden. Has anyone ever had this happen? Any suggestions as to a fix? I have it hooked up to my APEX controller. I have not unplugged it and plugged it directly into an outlet to see what it does, I will do that when I get home from work. I am hoping it is not toasted!!!

Hey Alicia!
If you haven't done so already, try plugging your working Reefbrite power supply into the fluctuating strip. That will at least tell you what part you are going to have to direct your efforts towards. I doubt it is your Apex.
I am currently looking for a replacement power supply for one of my 24" reefbrites. If you find that it is the PS, let me know and I will share what I have come up with so far.
Good luck

A lot of LED Drivers flash on and off when the LED Forward Voltage does not fall within the Drivers VF range...
Check if all all LEDs are working. If one failed in the closed position or open in a parallel configuration due to poor thermal management that would change the VF and cause a lot of drivers to blink.
A quick Google of them had this warning.
