Glass on LEDs?

Doug Dawson said:

Hey bud, nobody is being down on you for your lights, just curious about the giant pile of them. I for one would be thrilled to have a manufacturer sending me free shit to try out so good on you. As I said in my posts to you, they will be fine to run. As a matter of fact they will likely perform a slight bit better without the glass between the led's and the plants. The glass is just there to seal off the led's from dust, dirt and buildup.

My Blackdog 1000 watt light comes without glass, just don't touch the LEDs.

Are the LEDs protected by a lens?

The No Veg and No Bloom might be very easily repaired. Could be something as simple as a switch or bad solder joint.
If you have a meter I would poke through it and check the continuity.

I'm not a blurple fan, but you've got the hookups. I'd have fun fixing them too. I like that kinda shit. Free shit is always good.

Guys. I am affiliated/sponsored by Giixer. The owner over in China has sent me quite a few brand new lights. He offered to send me some returns he had at an amazon warehouse. 5 of them are brand new still. 2 of them have broken glass and work 100%. 1 is completely fucked.

My questions were

Is it okay to run them without the glass panel?
What is the purpose of the glass panel?

The 3 lights that were at the bottom of the box got the glass shattered. These were 100% free and useless to the manufacturer I assume. Thats why they were offered to me.

Thank you for your kind replies.
