I tried testing continuity, but none of the leds were triggering my meter. How do I test them?use a multimeter to pinpoint the bad led
No warranty. It died once before and they fixed it, warranty was expired at that time too. But this time they said it's obsolete and they don't carry parts anymore. Yet they offer identical models for sale now.under warranty? if so send the bitch back to hgt lol.or try to use those drivers for a lil cob setup.
that brown spot if flux from the solder but I don't se any zener diodes on that board so it could just be one bad LED. get a 9 volt battery and a 150 ohm resistor in series with the battery and use it to test each LED individually to find which one is burned out. it won't be enough power to light them very bright but bright to find out if their working.then just replace the dead LEDThat area looks a little brown, but that one lights up.

some multi meters only use 1.5 volts to test diodes or resistance.. not enough voltage to test LEDsuse a multimeter to pinpoint the bad led
Thanks for the tip. Found 4 that wouldn't fire.get a 9 volt battery and a 150 ohm resistor in series with the battery and use it to test each LED individually to find which one is burned out.
If I can turn this into a better light, I'm totally down for that. I don't know anything really about LED but I'm a quick study. Here's what I have, there's one of the little white box and 2 of the bigger black boxes.or take out the whole led panel and replace it with either xm-l2 leds or cobs depending on the spec of the driver. Open it up and let us know what the drivers are.
Even if you fix it like new, it isn't much of a light.

thats an expensive fix for a cheap light. be better off just getting a new light.each of those drivers can power. each driver could power 5 of these in series http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/bridgelux/BXEB-L0560Z-35E2000-C-A3/976-1498-ND/6236284 for a total of 20,000 lumens for 10 strips (2 drivers) at a cost of only $75 plus shippingor take out the whole led panel and replace it with either xm-l2 leds or cobs depending on the spec of the driver.

Thanks. That looks pretty beginner friendly. So will 2 drivers power 2 boards? Or will I need both drivers on one board like my current light?Look into the quantum board thread. It will fit your driver.
That sounds quite impressive. Is there a thread on here that I can check out on a build like that?thats an expensive fix for a cheap light. be better off just getting a new light.each of those drivers can power. each driver could power 5 of these in series http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/bridgelux/BXEB-L0560Z-35E2000-C-A3/976-1498-ND/6236284 for a total of 20,000 lumens for 10 strips (2 drivers) at a cost of only $75 plus shipping
they are just hard strip light no heatsink required . just glue them to a thin sheet of aluminum. wire 5 in series for each driver and your ready to go https://www.rollitup.org/t/bridgelux-eb-series-build.928676/ this thread will give you more informationI don't need much, I plan on using it in a 32x32 tent to flower out a single male for pollen collection.

One board per driver.I don't need much, I plan on using it in a 32x32 tent to flower out a single male for pollen collection.
