Haven’t really tried going down the warranty road yet, as I honestly think it was likely my fault. Was harder than I though not splashing this light having it goosenecked over my fuge.
probably should reach out to AI but if I don’t yield any result there is there any value in trying to take this thing apart and dink around with part replacement at all?
Not sure of the exact problem, but it narrowed down a gfci event to this light, and pulled it out.
replaced with a Tunze submersible light and interestingly enough wether coincidence or not my nutrient poor problem disappeared and I’ve now got a nice balance of 5ppm N03 when I was hestitantly having to balance with nitrate dosing before.
I’ve convinced myself the softball sized chunks of chaeto I was pulling out of my fuge with this light was where those nitrates were goin. I’m pleased with the Tunze, might add one more my chaeto is thriving but not exploding now, staying green and harboring pods as I’d like.
But I’d like to salvage this light if I can because I’ve got other uses for it.
I have pretty limited experience with electronic repairs, but can work a soldering iron and have a few measuring devices. Also pretty YouTube capable lol so I think I can handle if it’s worth the time?
