Lol. This issue is posted for kingbrite lights more than a few times on the chinese knock off light thread on riu.
I am pretty sure it is from bad wiring or actual shorts on the circuit board.
The popular builders frequented those threads. Like the owners of hlg and timber. They showed many quality issues, counterfeit diodes and such with the chinese knockoffs including kingbrite and meiju. The two older and more popular shenzen companies. (If they are even really different companies.)
Update.. Mars contacted me quickly and replaced the driver. I appreciated the great customer service andhave since bought 2 more lights without issue. (Have one for backup this time!)Yes!! I have only had my TS3000 for 3 weeks, suddenly only half of the lights were working. I can't even get a reply from customer service!! So frustrating that my plants are now exposed to crappy lighting while I gotta figure this out. I decided to order a new one so they at least have partial light for the next 3 days. Hoping this doesn't damage my first grow( i have figured out one of my drivers isn't working) ANNOYING!! Guess i picked the wrong company for lights... View attachment 1122461Live & Learn!!
Good luck!!
Mine is doing the same exact thing but when I unplug it and plug it in hrs later both sides start working again. I’m having them send me another driver to see if it fixes the issue. If not, maybe it’s too much power draw from the same outlet? I have no idea.Yes!! I have only had my TS3000 for 3 weeks, suddenly only half of the lights were working.

Yea I have viparspectra as well. XS2000 and two of the smaller 70 dollar ones. Bought them years ago still run great.Mars lights suck, sorry, customer service is non existent, I use a viperspectra 600w 2 cycle reflector series, the company has been around 10 years and now sell lights for industrial grows and are competing with spider farmer with full spec cob boards, mine works so well in veg I bought another bc there only $150 delivered so in my mind the first one was not going to last but it keeps chugging along, the new one has been collecting dust in the un opened box for a few years now, a good solid veg light, I grow autoflowers and they need blue light bc full spec can cause them to flower earlier affecting yield, so a 2 cycle light has blue, full spec and bloom, never used light to flower bc have cob bloom booster so not shure about that, however light does have warranty and if you contact they will respond, sounds like a ground came loose you can send it back to China for repair but that would take years, viperspectra has US based service if needed but have found there lights to be decent for amount paid and are surprisingly long lived with no problems.
I have used mine for 8 months straight before? Not a single issue, so if the faulty part gets replaced you should be good to go. These lights are mass produced, they are bound to have some equipment fail.My lamp has been used for maybe 4 months total, let's be generous...maybe 4 and a half. Do you mean I'll have to get a new driver every 4-5 months of use and things will be fine?
