Known Issues

Symptom or Problem Encountered

Non functioning light. No display on the control panel.

I was told it's the PSU. It wasn't.

Causes

  • Shorted diode on controller board.

Solutions

  • Replace a £0.60 diode.

Disassembly Notes

These are outdoor lights and the cap head screws may have corrosion in the aluminium housing. Use penetrating oil if possible. Remove the three cap head screws holding the display and control panel housing.

Controller board showing faulty diode.

Diagnosis

Without power connected check for a short across D2, adjacent to the inductor.

If short, lift one side of the diode (or remove it completely) and check the diode and the solder pads. In my case the short on the board went away.

NB: The voltage to the board is 63V DC.

Replacing the diode fixed the fault. But As to what caused the failure in the first place?

I repaired two of these with identical faults.
