Okay boys check these photos out. I was poking around in my tent this evening and happened to glance up right into my LED (ouch) but spied 3 diodes which seem to have failed.
Shut her off and pulled her for some photos. Anyone knowledgable with LEDs or electricity in general - help an old man out.
I will be a replacement asap my question is can I run this thing safely for a few days? Relatively low voltage passes through these things but I dont want to burn my house down while I sleep.
No clue when these things cut out. Could have been 2 months. Once ol girl hit flower, timers took over and I havent inspected my light once.
3 diodes our in total. Last photo even shows a bit of discoloration around the mount panel. Seems to be 2 blues and a red popped. The IR's are alive and well.
Help me - how dangerous is this? Should I cut my losses and leave it off for the night?
