Almost to the day, then on one panel (of four) the blue and green LEDs are out.
This is going to be a nightmare removing from the chamber.

Sent them an email.
I can take the unit to them, but just disconnecting it in the confined space I have is a BIG DEAL.
I was hoping to get 5 years before it failed.

Oh dude. I'll bet it will be a huge deal with that heat exhaust you have connected. So sorry! Let us know how it goes!

Got a reply.
I have a three year warranty.
Wether it is void or not (because of the exhaust manifold) the light still has to be repaired.
I am "local" so a drive out to their facility is not a problem, except for traffic.
I need to finish this crop (about a week) then I will pull it apart which won't be any fun.

I think CLW said that the manifold wouldn't void the warranty.
I'm local too, I've been to their shop, tell George and Brandon I said hi...

CLW is offering to upgrade the unit so this is looking up.
Under $400 to upgrade to the 880 which is fine with me.
Just need to finish the latest crop, probably by the end of the week.

Nice! It has about the same actual draw but it'll be newer components...

Spent three hours on the freeway (to and from).
BLAH!
Calif Lightworks is a neat operation.

I can get there in about an hour (without traffic) but when is there ever "no traffic" around the 10 or 101? 3 hours could have been much worse. We could be close...
Hope the new light works longer for you.
