I think the one year warranty is up

The LEDs doesn't flicker, all of them work... I never dropped the light it was working perfectly fine then the next day this......

I don't understand what's going on though, the driver still can light up the LEDs and the LEDs all work and don't flicker.

How come it's not lighting up when I want it to?

and its not the timer because i have another light on it and that one is working just fine.
has to be timer

if the timer is "off" there is no power going to the outlet. So if the light is "on" when the timer is "off" where is the power coming from?

Timer 100%

is it a mechanical timer or digital one? did you switch the pugs in the outlets?

I was using digital timer and had a same problem. I switched to pins timer and works fine. I also think that is timer problem.

I agree, get rid of the digital timer, mine messed up and I put a mechanical timer bar on, problem solved.

Nono guys sorry my post might have been confusing,

Let me try again,

1.Timer goes on,
2.Light still off.
3.5 hrs later ............ Light goes on
4.Timer turns off
5.Light turns off.

Strange eh? Light was working perfectly fine before and it's NOT the timer, I have another light on the same timer and that ones fine.

And I do have a mechanical timer not digital.
