Default Radions Damaged?

Some of you might already know I had a leaky sump last night that flooded my living room. During this incident, my power packs for my Radions where also wet. This morning when I tried to plug them back it kept tripping the breaker. Im assuming the power pack still has water inside? What do you guys think? Im thinking the power packs are toast and a replacement is required. The LED fixture should be fine im my opinion . Such a bad timing for things to go bad

put the upside down and let them dry out for a day or 2 and retry them

dont do this, if you want to rinse it use rubbing alcohol, the ro/di water can damage the circuits were the rubbing alcohol acts as a good cleaner and wont damage anything, it will also remove the water and evaporate quickly

pure water is frequently used in industry for cleaning. to the op what you need to do is get rid of the salt since corrosive and if wet, sw can conduct to cause a damage.
