whatever you do dont run those lights, you can very well cause a fire and burn down your home! :scared:
When i got my pc's i looked into those and found that they are the same company as jebo.
How old are they? Maybe you can return them? If not I would rewire/replace them to make sure it doesnt happen again!

Ryan, you have been here long enough to have read how many people have problems with this companies products, why did you still buy them?
I'm sorry to see you waste your money like this, but with a little research, you would have been able to save money by purchasing a quality product by a quality manufacturer. Now save up and buy some REAL lights.

Ryan, since you were actually working on the tank at the time this happened is it possible that you splashed oir bumped the light somehow? I am not saying that u did, but it just seems funny that it happened at that exact moment.
Don't take this wrong. I am not trying to argue with you. Just asking

I have the same light on my tank. The only problem so far is that my fans sound like a washing machine. Sounds like some vibration in there somewhere. I ordered the nova extreme 8x54 watt to replace this one.

see if they will give you credit to upgrade, you are asking for trouble using those lights, like burning your house down trouble!
If they give you a hard time about credit for a better light demand your money back, that should change his/her tune!
my rule-of-thumb...never buy anything jebo/odysea.
where did you buy them?

I have never heard or read too much of anyhting being good with Odyysea lights or JEBO products in general. They are nortorious for having such a great diversity in lifespan and death. Some last forever while the majority seems to die fairly quick. Their ballasts are pure unadulterated garbage, so no matter what the rest of the light assembly is made form is moot since the ballast is the heart and soul of the assembly.
I certainly would not take a chance. Lots of luck getting a reply back or one that would be favorable to you anyhow from aqua ripoffs..........

I seen and heard of fires with those light also, The guy that owns the LFS in our area had a set of those over the fish only tank, and was in the back of the store working on something. Next thing he knew, the smoke alarm was going off, came out front the find the light unit just a smoking. But the time he got across the room, flames start coming out. This was less than a month after he had a simular incident with a different unit of the same type of lights. He no longer will carry, or even order those lights for a customer. By the way, the store was only about 2 or 3 months old when this happened. so it wasn't that the lights were old. There is just something with the wireing and the ballast. Just be aware.
