Well I've talked about it before, and I thought tonight I would take picture and show you how to do it. We spend a lot of money on our equipment, and unfortantly they don't include cleaning instructions with these light. If the lights are not properly cared for, the fans clog up and can not run to cool the lights properly, and your lights will overheat. Causeing them to burn up, or worse yet cause a fire. Since I have been in this hobby I have know two fellow hobbies who's home caught fire because their lights over heated, and many who lights fired out in a year or two. So hear it is.
I got this info a while back after talking to someone at Corallife.com.
I do not know if this will work for any of the other lights, you would have to look at your lights and see how they are made. If it is a simular design.
You will need these items to clean the fans, DO NOT USE ANY WATER.
A small thin knive to slide under the fan covers and slide them over and up. and two cleanin brushes, one that can fit in between the very small blades of the fan.
These are your corallife pc's, you have two sets of fan covers on the light unit. One side is intake, pull the air into the light unit and pulls it through the fan, the other side are where the fans are located, these fan work for exaust only. they do not push air in the fan, just pull it thru.
S
This is the intake, not much there, but check and make sure there is not a bunch of junk or dust inside to block the flow.
These are the fans. push the cover over and pop them up, just like the other side. Carefully pull the fans off the top. But don't yank them they have wires attached that you must unplug.
The white clip is just a plug, just like any other plug, gently unplug the fan from the light unit.
