1 LED went out in my ufo.. help??

Hi all.. I have a cheap ass 180 watt ufo led light... the brand is Ocean Revive and its 60 3 watt chips full spectrum... I was looking at the light last night and 1 single diode has gone out.. I am in flowering right now and wondering if this will hurt me bad?

The 180 watt ufo I got isnt actually 180 watts... Its 97 watts from the wall.. I checked it with an APC computer backup power supply... The UFO has a "zeener" in it ... that is just a protection where if 1 light goes out the rest will work... only one has gone out so im guessing my light is now 94 watts since only 1 3 watt diode went out?



luckily it was a blue that went out and not a red.


I currently have 1 auto seeds Transiberian autoflower going underneath it with 1 40 watt 2700k and 1 23 watt 2700k cfl on either side.



Should I worry about this??? does this mean more leds are gonna go out soon? hell this thing shoulda lasted years but I only got 3 full grows out of it... I run the light 20/4

At 97 watts from the wall you lost less than 2 watts...

Yeah it won't really effect your grow much, but the quality of the light/company has always been known as sub par/cheap. No real fix if it's out or warranty/ you can't solder

probably its an IR diode, because it seems like if 1 went out then a cluster or string would

in anywise you should be fine

More will follow...
