Re: Faulty LED floodlight driver

It hasnt been used for about a week now so maybe worth giving it a go!

I actually have a split system in my shed because it gets down to a chilly 10 degrees some times!

Re: Faulty LED floodlight driver

Was drained just before working on it and powering on. On first power on I could hear a sizzling noise and noticed there was indeed some water in the transformer.

I wonder if the transformer could be dried out or if its better to replace it? The only issue the transformer doesnt have any discernible markings for model numbers etc.

Yes its interesting only one track has lost its lacquer coating. It is the high voltage negative from the bridge rectifier if that helps solve the mystery?

Hi All,

First post here.

Got a LED floodlight that filled up with water and am trying to repair it.

Steps taken; [LIST=1][*]Cleaned up all water and plugged in to test function[*]Driver board with no load spits out around 85VDC[*]Soldered LED back on and the LED flashes straight away[*]Also noticed one led on one of the rows was faulty causing the row to stop working - shorted that LED and now the row works[*]After doing this the LED seemed to work be then flashed after about 5 mins of use[*]Then went over the board and re-soldered all connections...
