Hi all,
Firstly, I'm new here. I joined yesterday after lurking in the shadows un-registered for some time. I really love it! I've got a 30gal Red sea.
I'm having some trouble with my AI Prime 16HD light. I think I know the answer, but you never know...
I'd taken the light off the tank, unplugged it, and put it back on the tank. I've done it a thousand times (WC day, it sits in a risky place). Around 10 minutes after re-mounting it, It went into thermal shutdown out of nowhere. Before this, the fan was working as normal, light working as normal etc. I unplugged it and followed AI's guide when this happens.
Since then I can’t get it to work. The actual spectrum of LEDs are flashing “all on” every other second or sporadically it stays "all on" for a few minutes then goes back to flashing. The odd time it's flashed on the UV colours too. What's worse, is there's NO light on the AI indicator, as if it's unplugged. I've opened the light and i can unfortunately smell something a bit hot/ sizzled and there's a slight brownish hue on the circuit board- which is to be expected if it's gone in to thermal shut down.
It’s refusing to factory reset under any circumstances. I've un-registered everything and the app isn't locating the S/ Number. I did try to get a video but unfortunately the flashing light just blinds the camera completely.
I'm pretty sure this is just it's death. It's always been kept max height from tank and kept clean. It's around 2 years old.
For now i've picked up a Nicrew Hyper reef 100w which seems to be doing the job pretty well... i'm pleasantly surprised considering it cost me £65/ $90 from a local reefer brand new in box.
If someone can confirm it is definitely dead, i'll sell it for spares or it can go to the big tank in the sky .
Thanks in advance!!!
