Yes, I consider myself pretty proficient with these lights. One diode will make the whole channel go out. Take it apart, and take a small length of wire and bridge each diode until the string lights up. Then replace that diode. If you want help, you can bring it to my house and I'll do it for you.


By the way, I need to come drink at your bar soon! We had a good time last time I was there.

Seriously home brew is best...

That said an open faliure on a single LED can cause the whole string to fail.

Remember these are typical Chinese lights and you have to value their reliability and cost against a MH or T5...With extra electricity and periodical bulb replacement.

A quality Domestic LED fixture will cost more but will pay for itself in the long run.

The Bad LED is easily found with a continuity test and can be replaced or short circuited with solder...Short Circuiting these inexpensive fixtures may lead to a current imbalance between the other LEDs.

Replacement of the LED is a good option, replacing the fixture is a better option as what's going to fail next.
