jumpsmasher Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) it might be the power adapter. I had similar issues with my Marineland LED fixture dying on me - once I swap out the power adapter with a new one they worked fine. If you have to find a power adapter with the same amp and voltage and same connector You can check ebay or 724lights 12V - http://www.724light.com/led-power-supplies-12v-power-supply-c-6_32.html?zenid=ha2bfbh4csjug9sqpc05eluqh3 Edited March 27, 2015 by jumpsmasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sicklid Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 The previous posts are exactly right. i have bought many of the Beamworks LED fixtures on E-bay and have had to replace some of the power adapters after a couple years. Sometimes the lights will start to flicker as well which is a sign. Now I keep at least one extra adapter on hand. They cost about $10 each.

Iceturf Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Really, the power adapter goes after a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpsmasher Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 yup, after a year or two about 80% of my marineland power adapters went bad. Even my AquaRay one died on me, but that after about 3-4 years. So far my finnex ones are all doing fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
