My Mars Hydro as developed a fault , the response from Mars Hydro as been very quick, so hats off to them.             They are sending me a replacement light without the controller unit from China.

@dobbin  mine blow up not to long back it was the driver that had gone. They were pretty good on replacing it but to be honest I’d have preferred a new light of em and now I’d think twice about purchasing a new light from Mars and made me wary about using the light I do have incase it goes bang again! 👊✌️

I'm lucky to have two of them, and it still works

Update the replacement light came yesterday and it doesn't work, came all the way from China. You would have thought that they would have checked it before shipment. The package was undamaged so I don't think that it packed up in transit. Let's see what there response is.

Chinese Quality control in action...absolutely ridiculous 🙁

However, easily sortable with a soldering iron, just remove the silicone first...am guessing thats why the other panel is out too, bad soldering practice, seen it so many times on recent electronics

I was assured that it was tested before shipment, I should just be able to reverse the wires on the opposite end without getting my soldering iron out .

Yeah, forgot about the 'IP rated' connector LoL  

If you have a meter, check that they are the right + & - and that they havent swapped the whole cable...made by different person who didnt give a shit
