      Does anyone know howto fix led's

      I picked up a china led about 11 months ago and now the blue wont brighten. When turned on to max settings the blue is very faint and bearly appears to be on. The dual white led are working fine. Both eBay Seller and manf. Wont honor the 3 year warranty... anyone has any idea how to fix? Thanks

      Led is 53 led 120watt dual dimmer

      Wow what good is a warranty!? I'd be pissed. Wish I knew what the problem was, hopefully one of the real tech wiz's around here will be able to help you out. Sounds like something to be wary of tho.

      Might be as easy as replacing the driver. Or maybe a bad/dirty pot, if they're dimmable? If they have a brightness knob try turning it down/up a bunch of times really fast.

      Opened it up and tested the electrical components and that looks fine as i hooked up the white led to the blue electrical and it lit fine.. Taking a good looks at the led it looks like the uv led is burnt causing the rest not to light up. Looks like i have a few bad led :-(

      UV LEDs are notorious for burning out. If those LEDs are daisy chained together. The UV LEDs could be disrupting the circuit. It's happened to me before. I removed the UV LEDs and resoldered the wire. Then I just went out and bought new LEDs. While China LEDs are nice - you get what you pay for.
