I have one of the old white radion power supplies (gen 1 to gen 3) that has a green power indicator light that turns on when I plug it in (so I’m assuming something is working). However when I plug the larger light until into the power supply the small green indicator begins to flicker and the light itself doesn’t seem to be getting power. Has anyone run into this? Any insight is appreciated!

Likely a bad power supply.
Common failure points are the capacitors inside. Puffy and ruptured or just old and dry.
