AI hydra 52 flashing.

They keep flashing in and out when connected but when I set it to demo they work. Idk if it’s a connection issue or if they’re just broken.

I can't see the video, but have you tried a factory reset?

Figured the video wouldn’t work but the lights go on then turn off and the light on the back flashes green and red in a crazy way. I’ve tried to reset them multiple times.

Don't know the answer but the video works fine for me, so others may see it

It looks like there are 2 lights on the tank and the other does not flicker on/off, is that correct(hard to see)? If so, try switching power supplies and see if the problem follows the power brick..

There’s two lights one works fine (being the left side) and the right one is the one that’s bugging out. I’ll try to switch the power bricks

That worked! Water must’ve touched the power brick.

Good! Now look at, and into, the barrel connector(both sides of connection) for corrosion. Post pics of it if you're not sure.

Mostly interested in the barrel connector.. the one on that power supply could use some cleaning, what about the side connected to the actual light? And down inside the hole? Try to clean all the metal terminals but you probably need a new p/s

One of my hydra52s has begun flickering too. Even more so than in OPs video.
Tried resets, re-pairing to director, powercycling... managed to get it back up momentarily.
Scratching my head and found this thread...
Swapped power supplies and it works normal.
Now time to troubleshoot the PS. Will start with the connections as suggested above, but just glad the point of error is determined.

Thanks!

Yeah I forgot about this forum and update what happened but all I did was order a new ballast from Aquaillumination site and swapped them. I service tanks and have customers have the same issues, even with new lights.

Did it fix the light?

 

[Reefering1]

I like to fill connectors with dielectric grease before corrosion gas the chance to set in .

Yeah. Until I switched them with radeons lol.
