I have a brand new v4gen2 and while setting it up I noticed the UV channel was flickering. Eventually it just turned completely off. I tried resetting the lights but they still do not turn on. :( Should I return/exchange or is there a simple fix?

Side question: I also have a pair of v4gen1 and would like to update them to gen 2. I'm not finding much info on this. Can someone point me in the right direction? thx
