Hi All--
So I have 2 Ocean Revive LED boxes (Chinese box LED's) attached under my canopy. I've had them for about 3 years now. Just the other day, one of the two boxes started to have a strange problem. All of the blue bulbs faded to a light purple/lavender color all at the same time. They didn't go completely out and it wasn't just one or two of them that were affected.
Has anyone heard of something like this happening and know what happened? And the $64,000 question is, is it possible to fix it or is that box trash now?
Thanks much! Robert
 
What tools do you have? Multimeter?

Options are bad LED in the mix or bad driver.

I don't really have any special tools for electrical work. I'm pretty weak with the know-how about that subject. I certainly would like to learn. I would need a multimeter to determine whether it was a bad diode or a bad driver?
