Do you have a way to fix them?
Do you have a way to fix them?
Sort of, I'm setting up a frag tank and had purchase a light and a few broken ones, am tearing them down for salvage and making working lights out of broken ones. I'm a bit too deep to turn back now, lol. Somehow ended up with two controllers, have one I can trade.
 
Well let's keep this going. I have 4 hydra 52HD lights. They are about 4 years old. One of them just crapped out on me. I reached out to AI they gave me an RMA number to return the unit. I put it in the mail today. Let's see how this turns out.

Not bad four years. I have three 26HD for 3 1/2 years and are still doing their job!

Four years lifespan isn’t bad? For thousands of dollars investment? U and I must have far different bank accounts lol

Thousands of dollars? I paid $320 for each of my 26HD for a total of $960. Not bad! The new 32HD are $366 each..inflation I imagine.
