Really? I might have to try that

has happened to me twice, if its just flickering between say full and a lower light level its likely that

I also bought urgently a new driver and before taking off the old one i cut off the pot and… working perfect without dimming 
now i have a spare driver

The potentiometer was your issue aswell?
Its flickering through the whole range of the pot.
Probably my fault, for the last couple months it turns out I had left the pot dialed down until the light turned off, but my timer was still turning it on and off every day cause I forgot to turn it off

yeah it was flickering regardless of where it was, just clip one lead and if it goes away its the pot, also why i have a couple spares because of that issue.

I’ll give it a shot when I get home. Not like I really need the adjustment anyways, only to dial it down when I’m looking inside

I clipped one of the POT wires… no luck. Still a super strobe

only thing else i can suggest is turning down the internal current pot as if you were runng at the top or above there rated output it could of caused soem issues, but yeah may just be a dead driver

I was thinking the same… then I lost the cord end (plugs in behind totes) and didn’t feel like dealing with it tonight… im also not exactly trusting my sonoff timer, its acting a bit glitchy on the app. But I’d expect to hear a rapid click of the relay if that was the case
*edit… I played with the built in adjustment, it changed the brightness a bit, and at full on it slowed the strobe down. New driver should be here on the 3rd

Hey, can I use XLG-240-H-AB instead of XLG-240-L-AB, wiring??

Well I think I screwed up. It was easier to take a pic of the driver on my gfs light so thats what I went with.
The driver I bought is a xlg-150-H-ab
My light has a XLG-150-L-ab.
I know I’ve read it in here somewhere what the difference in wiring is but I can’t remember where. I know its series vs parallel. @Mr.Sparkle is there an easy way to interchange the drivers without a full rewiring or should I just order a proper one
you’ll want to wire up the lights in a series parallel chain, of two in series and how ever many of those groups in parallel that you have, this is assuming your strips are in that 19-20ish volt range, your also gonna have to tweak the io screw to get say a 150w output depending.
Saying that the H divers are “safer” and more resilient light wise that the L’s, just cause say one chain dies, the others can sink up the amperage easily, and lower voltage has a harder time say breaking the skin or shorting to stuff to a degree

Thanks! I’ll give it some thought… I just hate those quick connects on the strips with a passion lol

same, a fat pin and wiggle back and forth helps the jaws disengage , also have had to solder the odd one back on but 
shit happens

I broke one off when I made a smaller frame to put them in my seedling box, I just soldered the wire directly to the strip and put some silicone on it.

I ended up ordering the right one… too lazy to rewire. Now I’ll have a spare driver if the girlfriends light dies
