S0058061-20170612.JPG Just an FYI

These are about 6 months old but I have no idea when it happened as I avoid looking up into the lights plus they are low in this veg tent.

CXB3590 5000K x 4
Meanwell HLG-185H-C1400B
Ledil 90 degree reflectors

So they are running about 50 watts each.

Interesting that my 3500K's (8 of them) are fine, same drivers, same watts.

Update: added pic

Found some specs inside the lenses.

A while back while trying some new soil (cough OF) had a nat problem. This is my veg tent, they never made it to my flower tents.

Working theory is they got up in the lenses during lights out then when the lights came on they burst into flames.

That's my best guess as to why it happened in this tent and not the others.

Oh I'm not worried about the lenses, have 90 degree reflectors so the lenses were probably not doing much.

But those nats got a rude awakening, FLAME ON, lol.
