G5 radion XR30 blue tripping breaker

[Trey]

It seems one of my radions is tripping a breaker and I’m not sure what to do about it. I have one on one circuit and two on another,which is the circuit that is tripping. The circuits are not overloaded. I even set one to turn on 10 mins after the other just in case all of them turning on at once was causing the trip. When the last one turns on the breaker trips. It’s been happening for months. I simply turn the breaker back on, and I’m good to go until the next day. Any advice? Thanks!

I had that problem with a gfci outlet, so I just wired in a standard outlet. If that’s not the case, maybe replace the breaker switch?

Its a brand new circuit, gfci breaker, and gfci outlet. I had an electrician come out and put in two 20 amp circuits for the tank.

Open the light, when the G5's came out the wires were chaffed at the plastic, better yet ping ecotech for a warranty claim before you open it. There are photos around from it.

You could try plugging it into a different circuit and see if it does it. If it does, then contacting Ecotech would be a good plan. They are usually good to work with.

Found it, I also had the issue with one of my XR15's that was returned-

Poor assembly? G5 blue

I bought a lot of G5s, of which three power input cables were pressed against the LED board. As a result, the led substrate was removed from the pin and the cable was damaged. I think should pay more attention to assembly.
