So I run these Chinese made Meijiu lights in my flower tents. I currently have four of them lighting two 10x10 tents. Been about two years since I first plugged them in and have had great results. Big fat dense potent terpy colas. I yield around 20-30 ounces per light per cycle. No complaints there.
Here's the problem...
First time it happened was about a year ago. Smoke filled the flower tent! Now thank God I check down there regularly because the exhaust was just pumping the smoke out and literally fueling the fire.
Come to find out it was a bad connector. These connectors are used to connect the Inventronics drivers to the light bars so the driver could be shipped separate. It had melted and begun to catch fire. Again, Thank The Good Lord I got down there in time!
I didn't think much of it other than hopefully it was just a fluke and a shorted wire or something. I have a few spare lights so I just set another one up and put the burnt one to the side.
A few months ago I decided to tinker with the light and see if I could get it to shine again. So I opened it up and checked it all out. Looked all good except that burnt connector so I just cut out the connector and bypassed it completely. Light works like a charm every since.
Yesterday another one did the exact same thing. Started smoking began to catch fire and spark...I smelled burning plastic coming from down there and caught it before it got bad.
I wrote the sales lady who originally sold me the lights and told her of the problem. She acted like she didn't understand basic English all of the sudden...lol
So I know customer service wont help or even hear my complaints...
Now I know there will be some shit about buying Chinese lights or whatever but it is what it is. I made the investment. It paid off even with the burnt connectors. Same thing could happen with any light I suppose.
I promptly cut out all the connectors from the remaining lights and bypassed them before they melt down as well. I suggest if you own these lights or are thinking of buying them you do the same.
