No I used it for 12 hours at a time but I would only use it when I was home and it was over a male for harvesting pollen. Now I am thinking of using it until it dies I simply want someone to confirm there is no risk of fire and that I will simply burn the diodes quicker...
If its someone that I have been interacting with for years, I would. There is a fairly long list of them in the LED sub section.
Bingo.........and a very easy fix for you Green
Now worries, Were all here for information in one regard or another. My humble opinion would be to use your own judgement. If 2/3 fans are still working well and the unit doesnt appear to be getting hot than you are probably ok. A word of caution though, Should you continue to use it be sure to be aware of and monitor the remaining fans. with 66% of its intended cooling it will probably remain stable temp wise, Should another fan fail though odds are it will begin overheating and become a fire danger. If I were you I would looking into replacing the fans (all 3) sooner than later. since fans are relatively cheap and the remaining 2 are likely close to failure as well I would just replace them all. Remember heat is the enemy with led's. So running with reduced cooling will also likely lead to a shortened lifespan.
Also a possibility, But with a presumably old and well used imported light its not unlikely that all 3 fan died out. From what ive seen and heard the cheap china lights (ebay, allibaba, etc) use bottom barrel fan and power supplies. So i guess its just a question of which died first. If you decide to open it up I would check the driver with a voltmeter to see if thats the culprit before attempting to replace it. Cheap dc fans usually lack ball bearings, combined with extended periods of use make fan failure a distinct possibility.
