Flickering Fugeray
 

I noticed today that my 20" Fugeray (bought late last month from Aquavibrant- in use for the past two weeks) has a flicker (light intensity changing). It is subtle - but very noticeable, especially if the room lights are out. This is the first that I have noticed it - but it has been doing it all morning now.

Is this normal - but something I didn't pick up on before - or is there something wrong?

My 12" fugeray does this too. I find that the position of the power cable has something to do with it because when I move the cable it will flicker more or less depending on the position. It's an inexpensive fixture and I wouldn't be surprised if the solder joints that connect the power supply to the circuit board on the fixture aren't the greatest and the movement of the wires is creating a small amount of resistance in the solder connections.

Hey guys. Try plugging it in to a different outlet or if it is plugged in to a timer, remove the timer completely to see if the problem still persist.

Hi Lowe,

I am plugged directly into the wall outlet and have tried multiple outlets in 2 different residences in Chicago, Illinois and Orlando, Florida. The issue seems to come from stress on the solder joints on the circuit board. Careful positioning of the power cord on my fixture seems to correct the issue. This has happened since I got the fixture in August. Not really a big deal since once I get the fixture set up and the power cord set up with little tension on the point where it goes into the fixture, that's where it stays and the lights don't flicker when positioned in such a way.

When I get a chance, I want to open the fixture up and re-do the solder joints to see if that corrects the problem permanently. I've been wanting to open it up anyways because I want to have an independent power supply for the "moonlights" so that I put them and the daylight bulbs on independent timers to automate the fixture.

Sorry for not reposting sooner - I was away for holiday vacation.

Replugging directly into a wall outlet helped for the most part - but there is still an occasional flicker. It isn't the biggest deal - just wanted to make sure I wasn't imagining it.

How are you soldering to stop flickering? How are you seperating moonlights to a different outlet?

thanks

Did anyone resolve the flickering issue in the Fugeray? My 36" Fugeray is flickering (both white and blue LEDs) and it's going to drive me crazy. It flickers in different outlets (without a timer) and even in different houses.

I bought the light in February directly from Aqua Vibrant so I've sent them an e-mail about the issue. Hopefully I can get it resolved... I love the light otherwise.

Customer service is good, if under warranty the fix very fast and ship back to u.

I paid like $7 to ship to them
