This thing cost me a mint and my budget is sooo tight that this could spell the end of the whole she-bang for me. What should I do?????

1) learn how to fix it yourself - all parts should be substituteable ( is that even a word ? lol ) with something off the shelf
2) sell it now while it still works 100%
3) get a MH tar ballast ( less than 50 beans at a electrical supplier ) as a backup in case the LED unit goes down - MH bulbs are pretty cheap if you look around so you dont have to get that right away

Lol, thanks guys. Heck this has always been a hobby of burning $100 bills for fun anyways. I doubt I could sell it for much even though it works fine. Ride'r till she blows I guess.

I hope the led lighting does better than the turf scrubbers after a lawsuit. That pretty much put an end to them. And they were a very good top of the line product when they were on the market and interest was at a high.

This is depressing news since I need a couple of LED strips, Does anyone know if they are going to have parts available. I imagine they should have parts to liquidate. I was in contact with them since late December regarding this and was getting the run around. Guess I am glad I did not ship the unit to them.
