Lighting Changing modules

[Larky.Derry]

Nice thread and nice pics & description tang,looks easy to change :thumbs:

its super easy mate, those pics and description is 100% spot on, the hardest part is trying to line up the optics and the face plate that covers them, there fiddly little feckers

also i think a mod or someone with the power to do so should take those pics that tang posted and make a little sticky thread so that it is always there for everyone to see :thumbs:

not glue V its thermal grease.

Cheers Tang, saved me a job of taking mine apart for a look :check:

I wonder if the upgrades will come with the thermal grease? surely they must need blobbing up again for contact, as half the grease will be missing on the new LED board?

I've never totally stripped one down bro to be honest but I imagine its pretty simple and I'm afraid I don't know the spec on the fans.

i havn't changed the fans either but at the start of my current grow i noticed they were a little grubby looking with dust and shit stuck to the outside of the blades of the fans so i thought this should be easy just unscrew the four screws at each corner of the fan covers and i should be able to get to them........WRONG. a word of warning i dont know whats behind where the screws are but i think you need to actually get inside the light because when i slackened one of the screws it wouldn't tighten again so i just left it at that so that i didnt fuck anything up or couldn't get the covers back on, just a little pointer to anyone thinking of doing what i done

:

Does your light rattle now Larky? From memory that grill you tried to undo is a bolt and nut, (also fixes the fan) the nut being on the inside of the light, hopefully the nut hasn't fell off inside the light and is just turning on the bolt

no rattling here mate :no: iam a panic merchant mate i slackened it off a bit and tried to tighten it again to no avail so i left it at that lol the nut must still be attached as i couldnt remove the bolt or anything and the cage over the fan isnt moving about or rattling either, im just lucky i didnt keep going lol
