Reefbrite issues?

[Homewrecker]

I’ve had to replace my power supplies twice in the span of a year, is this normal? Anyone have a similar experience?

Other users have reported failures... What Reefbrite are you using? maybe get a new powersupply from a different brand?

They’re lumi light pros, 48 inch.
Thank you for mentioning it, I’ll have to look at others’ feedback. I thought I was doing something wrong with them(however impossible that is lol)

Well it's not exactly normal but not impossible either.
I've found some power supplies really don't like things like brown outs ( line voltage drops) or other supply anomalies .

So poor power or bad batch? Or both.

Unless "I" pick the power supply ( or known quality brand) ..3 years, my guess of their lifespan.
Under 1 yr is just bad luck.
Of course was the second the same or different brand?
Going like cheap Amazon ps's is probably a crap shoot.

Above contains a lot of opinion. Treat it as such

Just buy some Quanta Helix meso blue bars and don't worry about it.
