Hi all,
First, thanks for stopping in and even more thanks if you can help.
I bought this HTG 7-band LED along with 2 others last year. It has seen one grow, and performed well. I just moved to a different home and had re-packed the lights carefully and moved them myself.... so I don't think this problem was caused by rough handling, but it is a distinct possibility.
Now the problem, 1/2 of the lights are kaput. So I opened her up (some bastard put a drop of glue in one of the screws... that's just mean spirited.... after all it isn't going to stop you, it just pisses you off). I verified that the issue isn't with a power source by swapping them - the lights were still dead, but the power source from the dead side drove the other side fine.
So, do I go any further with my hamfisted surgery, or do I stop here knowing I still have 1/2 of a light?
The last pic is of the silicon of the wires going into the light mount. I can't help but wonder if this had been done correctly by the mfr. if maybe I wouldn't have this problem.
