I wanted to document the repair of a Fathom Hydra LED fixture. This posting will be a work in progress since I've just picked these up. I'm hoping I'm successful in fixing these. I do need to preface that I don't know what I'm doing.....I don't know electronics.....but I'm willing to prod on and figure out what's happening. I began by checking the manufacturer's website HERE. I found the information about the LEDs. Note, two rows of LEDs are not working on one side:
Turning on what I could turn on (above), and looking at the manufacturer's website, here's the layout of the LEDs in the fixture:
B = Cree XPE Blue 3 Watts x 4
RB = Cree XPE Royal Blue 3 Watts x 8
UV = Ultraviolet 415-420 nm x 4
WW = Cree XPG Warm White 5 Watts x 2
W = Cree XPG Neutral White 5 Watts x 6
So it is the blues and ultraviolets that are not working on one side.....a 3 watt circuit. The whites are 5 watt and all appear to be working. It was also noted that the fan did not come on when I turned on the fixture. Not sure is it's temperature dependent or just not working, so I'll have to take a look at that as well.
Next is to open it up, but I have one of my kids stopping in tonight for dinner.......
