Warning: Blackstar LED smelling like burnt plastic!

Just wanted to give a heads up, just purchased two 500w Blackstar and one 720w Blackstar Chrome and immediately after plugging them in the room smelled like burnt plastic and room temperature rose 15-20 degrees F

You have to take them out of the box and wrapping 1st....

id be opening them up mate and checking for any damage...

you should have seen one of mine, billowed smoke. I'm talking a fucking cloud. One reason I'll talk shit on blackstar is personal experience.
Good luck.

did you take off the plastic off the lens?

Mine works just fine. Have not had a issue the few times I ran it

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Rollitup mobile app

I have 3 blackstar panels and none have had any problems only problem I had was one had a broken bulb from shipping I sent back and was replaced with a fully working one. they even shipped the new light before I sent mine out as I was still able to use it for flowering.
