Weird issue
Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2014 9:14 pmHey everyone! Ausled here, lurker turned poster, it's nice to finally say hello! 
I do come to you with a problem though. I was hoping I may draw upon your infinite wisdom.
One of my 3 300w LED units has started flickering/flashing, with a buzzing sound for each time it does. Consistently, maybe twice a second. From what I can see it's about a third to a quarter of all the diodes going out and coming back on, but it's a significant change in light when they're off. I was hoping it would be a loose connection somewhere in the guts that I could fix with a quick solder (the extent of my electronic capabilities) but alas, it seems to be a bit more challenging than I first thought (i.e. there was nothing obvious). It's still under warranty but I've been trying to return it since last year. It's literally infuriating to the point of madness. Safe to say I've made the decision that it's going to be easier to try and stumble through it myself, but I was hoping someone here might have seen something like this before...
There's four of these, each is wired to a different section of the panel.
I have an idea which is the one responsible for the issue, I just have no idea what to do/check for now. It's a dodgy job, but as far as I can see the connections aren't that bad. I can get more photos or video if anyone needs it.
Thanks in advance!
