When mine died, it was just as crazy said; salt splash killed 2 leds.
I got to where I could see where the wires attached to each led and 10 looked bad. I cleaned them up and then used a multi-meter to find where the electricity stopped. I then used wires as jumpers to bypass the 2 bad lights (just like I used to do with the christmas lights) and they were up and running.
2 CAUTIONS:
1st this involves electicity and salt water.
2nd depending on how your system is wired it may be bad on the rest of the lights to run the system short 1 or 2 leds. When you get that far ask for help, there are a few guys that DIY leds in here.]]> Fri, 25 Sep 2015 08:31:16 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=77694&PID=600070&title=led-lighting#600070 <![CDATA[LED Lighting : Unfortunately you will probably...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=77694&PID=600065&title=led-lighting#600065 Author: Krazie4Acans

Unfortunately you will probably find it very hard if not impossible to get just the power supply for those lights. In my experience with them it is almost never the power supply that goes out. It is usually one of the LED's that goes out and because they are in a series circuit (like Christmas lights) when one goes out they all go off. I've fixed quite a few of these for other members if you'd like me to take a look. Curious as to how you have salt creep inside the fixture and on the power supply for the lights as well.

I'm in Syracuse if that works for you send me a PM. Krazie

I have two LED lights to light my 75 gallon tank.  I recently had both sets of white lights go out so only my blue lights work now.  I am pretty sure I just need to replace my driver but cannot figure out where to get one.  Does anyone know where I can get one or where I can get these lights repaired inexpensively?  I am attaching a picture of what I need to replace.

Thank you for any help you can give.
