It seems to flicker to a duller overall output, no individual LED is flickering (that I could see). Gets dull for a few seconds then comes good for a while. Happens as well when I move the light around. I'm thinking it's a wiring or driver problem. I'll ask A-51 but meantime has anyone else had this happen, successful fix? Will my light blow up?? :shock:

Thanks Beef, I had a plug adaptor. Changed the plug and got rid of the adaptor and all good!

Great service thanks A-51:hump:
How far do you all keep it above seedlings??
I've ratcheted up to about 4' and the seedlings are only now just seeming to like it, hadn't realized how bright it was (at 120w!! (wtf)) in with another LED.
Tried everything before backing off the light.

I had a driver go bad on my 220 and had a replacement in less than a week. Great lights and great customer service.

My seedlings are usually sharing space with 6-8 week old veggers so the lights are between 3' and 4' from them. They are also shaded by the fan leaves of the bigger plants. The seedlings seem to like it. But I have the older A51 models.

Seedlings; back that shit off. I'd say 30-36". I want my seedlings to stretch a bit, not too much. If they start getting really stretchy and falling over, move the light closer.
