Help, Current LED strip lights

[Mark3]

I have 2, 72" LED strip lights from Current. They are dimming on the ends and brighter towards the middle...about 4 years old.

Is there a way to brighten them back up? ...a new power supply or something? or are they just worn out?

I have even thought of tearing them apart and replacing the blue with new brighter blue lights...which I will try as a last chance for them before throwing them in the trash.

Common issue with these lights. They may work evenly for a short period of time but they are not fixable.

What about rebuilding them with maybe a new power supply? Or maybe replacing the blue led's .... Running them now with 2 metal halide lights

Apparently it has to do with internal electronics of the light and doesn't have to do with the power supply as far as I know. There might be other reefers here that might be able to offer an insight on how to rebuild them.

I want them to supplement the metal halide lights they do have a nice ramp up-and-down feature


I would like to try before trashing them...what's to loose at that point....fun DIY project

Can anyone give me some hints about rebuilding these strip lights?

after a bit of investigation, I figure it would cost more to rebuild than to buy a new light.
I looked at LED supply ... is this a place any of you are familiar with?

strips have 360 led in them....to change them all out would be high $$$ ... more than just buying a new light?
