Hello,
So I was setting my t300 above the aquarium noob mistake hanging the light with shotty hooks anyways it fell in the water not plugged in so I took it all apart and dried it the best I could opening the driver boxes and drying them with a blow dryer waited a few hours plugged it in and it smoked 2 of the drivers burnt I emailed Viparspectra and they have informed me that a unit that was made last year is no longer available for parts does anyone know where I can get new drivers for this thing?TIA

Other than buying a used version of your current fixture, or ask if anybody has a broken fixture and you can part it out.

i would get a meanwell driver and just totally bypass the viparspectra driver, especially since their underrated ect.
