I contacted Red Sea and they told me it was an issue with my WiFi (we didn’t have problem with anything else even though my wife and I and two kids are home all day working/school/movies/video games) and I needed a WiFi extender, so I bought one and it didn’t help (but worth it since now I get WiFi even in my backyard hammock!). I have no idea what the settings are on the lights and couldn’t adjust them if I wanted to but they come on at 8 and turn off at 7 and things are growing well in my mixed feed tank so I’ve just accepted the situation.
They also told me I had to remove the power thing from the cabinet and document the temperature before they would consider replacing so Idid so and ran a small desk fan but had no way to check the temperature ( did they expect me to tape a thermometer to it?) but by chance the HVAC guy came to service my unit and had this temp gun and it read 145 degrees so obviously hot sitting outside the stand with fan blowing on it but ( probably?) not fire hazard.
In summary no way is purchase these lights and I’d return if I could but not worth literally throwing them away and replacing.
So there is an option to configure locallyYes agreed with connectivity issues. That is why i choose to connect to the lights direct instead of thru home wifi. My doser and AI fuge lights have no issues connecting.
Yes u can use the light wifi to connect direct to the Reefbeat app. But you have to do it individually for each light. Guess im lucky with the PSU , it does run hot but not that hot to the touch. Im only running max 80% blues 30% white btw.So there is an option to configure locally
Just that remotely it doesn’t work
how is the power supply on your end?
No flickering issues here.Hi everyone,
Am new to forums, so please forgive me for piggy backing on this discussion, I came across it as I was looking for information on the reef led 90, I have 3 on my tank and have multiple problems with connectivity, and just recently 1 of my LEDs starting flickering when ramping up in the morning and when ramping down in the evening, I contacted Redsea and they said it was an led array that needed changing, they are sending a new one out and it seems simple enough to replace, but now am worried it might be something to do with the PSU as it was mentioned earlier in this discussion that people have noticed light flickering. My PSU do get hot but I have no way of measuring, has anybody else had an issue with the led array?
thanks Pea
Hi all! I had bought my 90s last black Friday from brs for my 120 build. After reading all about the power supplies heating up I was skeptical about hooking them up. I contacted red sea support and voiced my concerns. I was asked to provide a copy of the purchase invoice along with serial numbers for both lights as well as photos of the power supplies. I emailed all the requested info and was contacted the next day and assured that 2 new power supplies would be mailed to me. 2 days later I received a tracking number and within a week I had the new power supplies. I was extremely satisfied with the customer support experience. The new power supplies are much bigger than the original ones. The lights have been up for a few weeks and the power supplies are only slightly warm, no more so than any of my other power supplies. They are definitely not a safety concern for me anymore.
I think it's only when necessary, but I can't even here mine when they are running.I installed my 90 This weekend, Does anyone know if the fan kicks on right when the light cycle starts?
Or does the fan only turn on as necessary?
Same and I agree, only turns on as neededI think it's only when necessary, but I can't even here mine when they are running.
