I might've fried one of my kessils just now.

Hello,
I was doing a water change and pouring water into the tank when I splashed one of my Kessil A160 lights. I am very worried that I fried it as one side of the bulb is out. Its happened before and was fine but I dont think its going to last this one. Anybody know anything about them?

I would unplug it. Put it into a bag of rice for a few days. It may dry it out and it might be okay. It’s worth a try at least.

Already unplugged and I was able to get some of the water out..

Oof if there was enough water in there that you could see it come out then you might be in the market for a new light. Maybe use some canned air to blow it out then leave it sit in a dry place for a few days. Hopefully it works for you.

Not a lot came out... I just need to get it dry I guess...

outside in the sun is another good place to dry it quickly.

Sounds good. I'm going to do my best to get the water out of it...
