Hello all,

I have a AI Hydra 26 HD and just noticed that my UV and Royal Blue channels are out! I tried adjusting them individually and got no light from the bottom. I've only had the fixture for about 3 years so I'm disappointed I have issues already. Does anyone know if AI will fix it since it broke so quickly? Or if I can buy replacement LEDs and fix it myself? I'm an electrical engineering student, so I have no problem taking it apart and soldering on new LEDs if I have to.

Thanks!
 
Give them a call and explain whats going on. I had a similar issue, granted mine wasn't as far out of warranty as yours but they might surprise you or work with you on repairs. It never hurts to try. I was very satisfied with the customer service.
