Mando77 February 4, 2012 Share February 4, 2012 They will need to be replaced. If you have meanwell drivers order from rapid or reefledlights.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad February 4, 2012 Share February 4, 2012 ^that is the likely solution. If they got wet while running, they probably let the magic blue smoke out of something important and are probably done for. If they weren't on when then got wet, then I would open them up and dry them out completely. If they got wet with saltwater, then the saltwater needs to be rinsed off with RO/DI water and then dried out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valeria February 4, 2012 Author Share February 4, 2012 (edited) they were wet, and turned on while wet ( did not look before turning on. so the whole fixture is done for or can I replace any parts? Edited February 4, 2012 by Valeria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad February 4, 2012 Share February 4, 2012 How long were they plugged in for? Wet with salt water or fresh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thefishman65 February 6, 2012 Share February 6, 2012 Rice probably won't help with a pop. Probably the drivers and the LEDs might be good. See my PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBVette February 6, 2012 Share February 6, 2012 if there was a pop and smoke you will have to replace, no amount of rice is going to fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
