All I can say is that your lights are extremely durable and well made. Mine, which I won on R2R during a giveaway, went swimming one day when I was trying to adjust its position over my tank because I left a screw a bit too loose. I was able to take it apart and clean it with RODI water, and replace the Bluetooth antenna with a DIY version because I broke the original during disassembly, and the thing works as well as it did originally. The lights you guys sell are top notch and I fully intend on integrating the hybrid fixture you guys have when I get a larger tank.
That is because it's a waterproof plug and has to be pushed together with a bit of force.
You don’t have the connector mated properly, so it’s loose. You need to twist and push hard so the rubber shroud slips over the other one
every electrical contact in every device will spark if you don’t seat it correctly and leave an air gap
No it’s notThis is supposed to be there response to the accusation of selling knockoffs....
that’s the other company “aquariumlowcost” Statement regarding the accusation that they sell knock off Noopsyches.
the way you phrased it makes it sound like that email you posted was from NoopsycheUSA. It isn’t
I’m not saying anything bad I’m just saying that the QC on the lights can be better. So whoever manufactures the light needs to do better QC. All I know is they say they get it from the same source so now a days it’s all the same. Just liken tv’s coming out of the same factory’s with different designs
But there’s nothing wrong with the QC. Your assembling it incorrectly.
It’s a waterproof connector. I have the same one on an led canister light that I use down to 100ft depth. In that case it’s filled with non conductive grease before you mate it. No other light manufacturer uses them.
id say that was a plus, not a QC fail
That’s completely different to what you stated previously though.
if that’s true, it sounds like a nicked wire. If there’s no external damage, it may be a poor soldering job
Is this in the legit Noop or one of the 8 knock offs you bought?
No offense taken, by me at least. I just know a few people have problems with the connector because they don’t realize it’s a specialized connector that needs more force
to seat correctly
honestly- until noopsyche buys one of the ‘knock-offs’ and tears it down alongside a genuine model, it’s all heresay anyway. I’m in two minds about it- I would have liked to have saved a couple hundred bucks buying from there if there’s no appreciable difference (which we won’t know until a real documented comparison is done), but I trust that the situation is as described by NoopsycheUSA. That trust comes out of my interactions with some of the early adopters and distributors (some of which are local to me, but we’ve never met). most days I feel good that I got a very competitive, useful product at a good price, with a year of support. Some days I feel like that extra coin could havebeen spent on my mounting solution or an extra fixture or a T5 retrofit
it’s like that company that opens up and sells gryphon band saws for $85, but instead of a $500 saw, you get a box with bricks in it and the company web page disappears overnight. in this case, your not getting bricks, but $25 worth of leds and an undersized heatsink with a crap power supply.
or not. I’ve never held a knock off in person so can’t really judge.
you might be in a fairly unique position as a user that has bought from both- what are your thoughts?
I mean, it would be useful to other readers, but I in no way suggest you do it if you don’t have electronic build experience or know your way around a circuit.
I would be tempted to leave them closed, but keep an eye out and note any apparent failures or issues.
