[captn bob]

one of the LED,s [moon lites] thats factory mounted under the conopy went out shortly after I got in set up,has this happen to anybody else, and can someone sugg. afix to this?? i,m no electrician, but I,m willing to do what it takes to fix it help please : :

Its hard to say what it is, it oculd be something simple like a bad solder or twist joint, or it oculd be a burned out LED, but either way, I would call who ever made the component (Canopy) a its probably warranted if its a major manufacturer, and make a warranty claim if its under warranty yet. Some like coralife are great at it, and they will send out a new replacement part orentire light assembly and pay to have the other picked up by a shipper.

thanks for the respond, its a aquapod24 & everything is tucked inside the top its brand new & I just got the thing set up thats why I,d like to fixit myself if possible :notsure: :notsure:

Aqua Pod is made by Current USA, and they will treat you right in getting the light to work again. They have already sent folks complete replacement hoods when a fan would not work. Give em a call and talk to them about the problem.

thanks chipmaker,I removed the broken LED from the canopy[it just unplugsfrom the inside]once I unscrewed the backing plate& will see if I can get current USA to send me a new LED,no need to send a new hood,this should be a painless repair

hey just an fyi, you can buy led lights at your local auto parts store. they sell light kits for cars i got mine for 13$ versus 29$ at the fish store. youll need a 12v converter to run it . your house gives 120v from your plug ins. i bought the converter at radio shack for my fan and you cut off the end of the (not the plug in part) and match positve to positive and neg to neg. have fun!!!

Yea, but for a sinlge led like is needed to fix the burned out led your probably talking less than a buck total for an exact match at anay electronics store and since it is in a socket its a piece of cake to fix......Probably costs Current USA about 2 cents or less
