is the power cord for that driver/channel plugged in fully/completely? sounds like it is loose. either that or the driver has failed. if the latter, who did you buy from? speak to them. problems are resolved immediately when i've gotten fixtures from ERC(exoticreefcreations) and RB(reefbreeders).

yeah I doubled checked the power cord, it's connected in fully and the "power button" is illuminated.
I ordered directly from Evergrow, I think they have a warranty on their products so I'll wait to see what they say.
Just wanted to see if this has happened to anyone or if I was missing something stupid
hi all
this is a great thread
last year i built 3 100w+ cob hybrid led cannons just Blue and white http://www.ebay.com/itm/220926012078?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
well 2 of them have to be sent back for repairs to the chip not all of the leds are lighting. So I started looking to see what i could add to the tank for lighting for a bit more pop. The seller i got my first chips from has violets uv and blues but is missing the yellow and green (i was looking at the 20w ones). So after more thought i think adding those to my other chips would be over kill.
So with that in mind i may just scrap that whole setup and go with these
http://www.ebay.com/itm/310831335583?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
i would like to get as close or better then the radion
this is on a 155 bow front

evergrow makes those fixtures in various sizes with or without the contoller, I and A series, respectively. they are great for cube tanks. a couple members from my reef club have those over 93 cubes that we got in our local group buy but the d2040 and IT series lights are still much more popular overall.
Can anyone post a link to the best eBay fixture? I'm looking at the units that are 400 for 3 units that are 160watt and full spectrum or the dimmable d120 fixture

IMO, both have way too many white LEDs. I would go with a 3:1 ratio at least, but you can adjust the color to suit your taste. All in all, that's a pretty good price if shipped from the US.

I was about to say the same but then I saw the $65.00 international shipping... 
+1 on the 'too much white' comment.

Reefbreeds can provide extra LEDs, optics, and drivers.
I found the best price at http://www.oceanrevivellc.com, they are running a holiday special right now, also a sponsor here. way to go!

I'm a new member and have been hanging out trying to learn as much as possible . I have read a ton of stuff on Chinese LED lights and have pretty much decided on the Malibu S300 for my 90 gal. tank. I have read all the post on LED layout and have a few questions.
Would this work for the led layout for the fixture? Looking forward for any and all input before ordering light. good or bad !!!
Thanks

it's basically an IT2040 with a few differences in the controller. you can get a great deal and service from a known vendor like exoticreefcreations, reefbreeders, or others and get reliable warranty support shoudl you need it on the evergrow IT2040 if that is what interests you and i'd recommend you go that way before an ebay vendor.
+1 on that! The last few weeks I have talked to both reefbreeders and exotic reef creations and their support, knowledge and prompt replies were excellent. Plus, they BOTH post the exact layouts of their builds so you know exactly what you are getting. Also, both do customization and seem much more thorough then any of the china/ebay direct buys.
Ordered 2 x IT2080s today and cannot wait to get them! :dance:
