i am in process of remounting my fixture(diy led) higher in my canopy and i disconnected the fixture from the powersource. i tried setting the light back up on top of the canopy to keep the tank lit while i build the rest of the rails, but the apex will not turn them back on. the leds are just barely visible. i have tried restarting and unplugging. i also tried manual on and back to auto in the manual control and still nothing. i have had this fixture running for a little over 2years now with no problems.......any ideas?
 
If you set to manual On, they will not light? If that's the case, have you tired plugging the fixture into a wall outlet to determine if it's the apex/energy bar/fixture?
 
i figured out what was wrong. i added some leds while the fixture was down, and didnt realize they were 9w leds, so i was underpowering the leds which is why they looked like they werent on. i removed a few from the string and they got brighter and brighter as i removed more. thanks for the response
