Yeah definitely need to keep an eye on it and hope nothing bad happens while I'm sleeping lol.I'm definitely not going to underestimate this light. I have a kill o meter and I plan to adjust my wattage for a ballpark ppfd based on readings I've seen others take with this light online. From there I should be able to adjust accordingly based on plants response. It's a lot of power flowing through that cable so I'm not surprised it's hot. I would keep an eye on it so that it doesn't touch anything that might melt or be damaged by the heat.
I was hoping to use the light at 18" at full rip but I guess we will see!
I would just contact spiderfarmer on here or through email. They have good customer service reps. I wouldnt go pulling apart a pretty new light you can still return or have fixed.Coheres guys I'll pull it apart shortly when I can go in the room and see what it looks like I there
I haven't no bit there is other lights connected to the same socket that done have any issue.Have you checked the outlet with a multimeter to see if the voltage is what it should be?
Good point and spiderfamer have just emailed me back and have said to check the connections for burns and get back to them.I would just contact spiderfarmer on here or through email.

They are a great company and if the light is only 2 months old its still under warranty so use it lol.I haven't no bit there is other lights connected to the same socket that done have any issue.

As in check how much I'm using vs what the outlet is?Your answer to number one means you should definitely check your voltage/wattage/amps. You may be pushing your electrical capacity at that outlet/fuse.
Yeah I might have to but I would need to buy a tool I'm guessing on there's no way the prongs on my multimeter would fit in the outlet and I'm not even sure if that's safe.I would just check to rule it out. Running at 240v is a good thing though. I'll be powering mine at 120v. Were you able to just use a simple 240 to 120 adapter? Is it hot at that connection or just the wire you highlighted in the picture?
So not Normal then.I haven't no bit there is other lights connected to the same socket that done have any issue.

I stand by my advice of contact spider farmer and leave it to them to handle. Its a brand new light still under warranty, why mess with it and possibly void warranty??Does anyone think applying a small bit of dielectric grease to the connector would help at all?
