Power blink knocks out XR15

[jmatt]

We had a power blink yesterday and now one of my four XR15s is dark. The light on the power brick is blue, like the other three.

I simply cannot get it to come back on. Before a spend a day unwinding my very neatly dressed hanging rails to replace it, any ideas?

I do not relish the thought of disassembling the darn thing and then reassembling. I would have to remove the other light from the rail, the wire loom, the zip ties etc etc. Oy.

Do you have to take everything apart to replace the fuse?

Can you swap power supplies?
Power fluctuations can be hard on power supplies.

I have one that acts this way. I simply unplug the barrel connector between the power supply and light and plug it back in.

Plug the light in another power supply and see if the behavior changes

I'm not sure I know what it means... but I went to check it out again last night and suddenly it's working. I tried different outlets but that was never the problem (I guess) since the power brick always had a blue light, just like the other four.

In any event, it would be nice if they made the light unit unpluggable from the cable so you don't have to dismantle your entire rail and wires when you need to swap in a new unit.

If you read my previous post, it sounds like what I've experience during power outages. I've seen it a few times with other people too.

When power goes out, and comes back on, all the power supplies (14 total) for my lights come back on. But there's one that for some reason refuses to send the require DC voltage to the radion light.

I suspect that it's a faulty internal protection inisde the meanwell power supply. It's annoying when power goes out because I have to remember to go and unplug that barrel connector and plug it back it. Then the power supply knows to send the DC power to the light.

It's way too late for me to address it with ecotech, but at the same time it doesn't seem to be an issue unless power cycles.
