Kind XL000 hack

[Delztronics]

So recently two strips of LEDs burnt out on my Kind XL1000. As far as I know they are 3w and 5w diodes. Does anyone have any experience on repairing and or adding diodes on this particular model?

Step 1: throw it in the garbage.
Step 2: buy newer tech.

pull the cover and check the connections at the driver terminal blocks

They do have 3 and 5 watt leds I’m planing on gutting the ones I have to stuff some quantum boards or cobs in them. Since I can’t sell them.

Hahahah, I have a Quantum Boards on the way.

I would gut the kind and use angle aluminum to implement the monos it has into a frame with the boards and build a fucking sick Ass fixture with red/blue boost.

That's not a bad idea.

I'm doing similar. I'll show you when it gets goin.

Always worth a look at the internals to see what might be useful to save. If that doesn't pan out, perhaps the case is salvageable.

if its whole strips of diodes going out its probably one of the drivers in your light rather than a bunch of diodes at once

same happened to me with a mars and 1/5 drivers was faulty when i opened it

Awesome, thats good to know.

Simple test to isolate a driver/led section would be to plug in a working driver on the fixture into the bad circuit. If it lights, the other driver is kaput. If not, the board is damaged.
