Driver mounted externally is warm...No other exposed wiring to check...warraanty void if components are opened. and no frikkin phone contact number!!!

@Fermented_Fruitz @WildBill @Cave Dirt Cody are the firsts that come to mind

Yes, checked all house and is good. Have had a couple of outages the last few days, but also on a very good surge protector. Other items running fine on same protector. Have half the light on full blast and at a 45* angle

Already sent them an email. Will hopefully hear something early morning. Everyone I know around here has all their lights in use. Will probably have to go buy a light in the am. Was gonna get a Chilled light in the near future, but I will have to go with a different brand tomorrow. Will do an HLG as they are good and readily available. Sold my 600R Spec to get a bigger light for a 5x5. Should have kept it!!!

The only plus is the ladies are photos. Guess i'll just veg a little longer and do a scrog...

Thanks for chiming in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problem teamwork the only reason I said something was my 600w off brand light won't run over 500w without doing weird stuff like that and the hydro store told me it was on my end..But i am good with electric and know a electrician who come over and checked my work said no way it's the light but anyways i dont go there anymore and just don't go over 500W and all is good

Hope you get this figured out still thinking and looking

I've had the same thing in an older LED light.
In my case it was a defective driver.
I replaced the driver and it worked again!

So how often do you look at what you posted the day/night before and wonder WTF you were thinking???

What was the question?

Hello Good People, I come here today humbly seeking advice. As I have already posted, I have a grow currently underway with Mendel genetics. My grow closet isnt large enough to accomodate all of them, so I had to move one out last night. I choose to move Pineapple Fantasm, for the reasons of being too large and I got this one as a freebie anyways. Pineapple F is a collaboration between Brother Mendel and mephisto. I moved her outside, but due to the unseasonably high temps she looked stressed so I am weighing the idea of setting up a little burple light that I have as a spare and have her split time under that light and outside in the natural sun. Do any of you feel that would be putting undue stress on a plant that is, I am guessing, already stressed from the move. She has the structure to be a large auto. She is currently on about day 33 and just in preflower/beginning flower. Those genetics look very hardy and my inclination is that they can handle the transitions, but I would love any feedback from you expert growers. Thanks.

You would probably do more damage to it moving so much than just get it acclimated to outdoors?
