Lithonia LED area light

[WeaselXP]

These lights are just wonderful and we have enjoyed them but last week, my renter said his would only come on if he tapped it with a stick. I replaced it and opened it, half expecting Lelon or CapXon. Very much surprised to see all Rubycon low ESR types. Now to trouble shoot it....

that usually indicates a bad/cracked/cold solder joint. try checking and reflowing the solder joints.

Agree with Chaos looks like a nice unit tbh and I dont say that about many Led products

Re: Lithonia LED area light

just wanna add that the joint could have cracked due to poor handling in transport or by a careless customer/storeman. ooops... dropped it! shit happens sometimes...

It was the photo electric switch. Power supply was fine. Disappointingly low quality switch.

lol brainless cost cutting strikes again. the manufacturer ponied up the dough for expensive branded rubycon caps but penny pinched to the high heavens with a junk switch? tsk tsk tsk... this is gonna be today's cost cutting joke of the day for me...
