I hate to hear that your lights are messing up I've only had mine about 4mon. No problems yet, but I'm sure I will! I only have 2 of the marsll which from what I've seen and read in other forums they are the ones having all the problems.especially the 1200s and 1600s. I decided to go with more of the reflector series because you really don't see or hear about to many of the reflector series going out on people. I wish you the best on trying to get your lights fixed!! I clicked on your link but it said you need a password or something to enter, what's it about?

Not trying to defend anyone, but my 2 cents is, that one of the most common risks with any grow comes from electrical problems. A theory I have is, I wonder if the folks having problems with their lights might be running way too many high amperage items off of too small of breakers in their house. What I know is, you shouldn't ever run high amps on anything less than a 20 amp breaker, no more than 80% of what max rating, and have at least 12AWG wire. Too many folks go dumping 2 1000w lamps in a room with fans, dehumidfiers, ac units, heaters ect. And expect everything to be okay...... maybe if you had it plugged in next to your clothes dryer..... (30amp) breaker..... anyhow, if you're running more than 80% of what your breaker in your house is rated, everything plugged into that series suffers with excess heat and strain from trying to draw power all at once due to the increase in resistance. Meaning you could burn your house down by plugging too many of anything in. Again not trying to defend anyone. Each of us growers should be doing the math for electrical fail-safe needs.

I believe what you're saying. I haven't heard much about any problems with the reflector series. They've added I spectrum. I personally haven't had trouble. I feel for the folks that have had trouble though. I'm not defending or jabbing at anyone else either.
