ACTcichlidlover Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Hi Everyone, Just after some advice. I have a 4ft LED light which recently has started to, after a couple of hours of being turned on, flashes on and off. I touched the power plug and it is very warm. The set up from the light to the power plug is not one direct chord. It is 2 chords, as the power plug is connected to a small plug which then connects to a much longer plug which contain the led lighting. Just wanting to know if anyone has had this issue before and whether they were able to solve the issue. In addition, if the issue is the power supply only, whether it is possible to obtain the power supply and chord set up only? Unfortunately I cannot remember the manufactor of the LED Light. It is just under 2 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobble Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I Was given one that was flashing. Changed the power supply and its worked like a dream since. Just buy one that matches the V and A on your current one (It should be on the Power Pack or the Inline Block if there is one) Good Luck Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACTcichlidlover Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Hi Brad, Thanks for the advice. That is what I was thinking to. Can you recommend where I can buy these types of power supply units. I will look for the V and A. Does it need to be the same make or model or will any similiar units do?

Ageofaquariums Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Places like Jaycar might have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACTcichlidlover Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Thank you for the advice. Will take the power supply to Jaycar and see if they have a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobble Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Jaycar do have them but they are cheaper on Ebay (I think Jaycar sell a one with Variable V & A and swapable plugs) Just may take longer to get depending on where they are coming from Just depends on how fast you need it.

ACTcichlidlover Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Just to close this discussion topic. I did go to Jaycar and was able to obtain another power supply unit. So far it has worked perfectl;y. Grateful for all you helped me as I was annoyed about the Led Light not working since it was an expensive unit.
