Lights of America 65W PC
Picked one of these up from a home depot in the
states for use on my refugium. Puts out fantastic light and was growing my caulerpa like mad. But.... Don't do it. Had one for 4-5 weeks now, it died on me on the weekend. Went and got it replaced, died last night. I'm going to open it up and see if I can find what's wrong, but I suspect something probably blew. Damn shoddy american products :/ |

These units are designed for outdoor use. the heat from indoors and in your cabinet cause the ballast components to fail. APparently drilling some large holes in the enclosure allows for sufficient ventilation.

No cabinet, very well ventilated area.
Never really got too hot, was keeping an eye on it :( Was contemplating drilling holes but it didn't seem to need it. Oh well. |
