Re: Moonlights

I agree call the manufacturer first before you take them apart. Usally their more then willing to work with you. Keep us updated.

Re: Moonlights

If they wont fix them and you cant figure out the problem I can hook you up with a guy in NYC that builds custom one for good prices that are very good quality.

Re: Moonlights

I would call or email who ever you purchased them from. It is likely not the LED's but the circuit board that is feeding them current that is not working properly. I have some AquaLights that are four years old and have not noticed any dimming of the LED's. They will likely get you the parts at no cost or would offer a replacement for the whole unit but would expect you to pay shipping. The board replacement would likely be just a few wire nuts and a couple screws. The whole light system is fairly easy to disassemble. You half disassembled it just to put in the halide and power compact bulbs after buying it, and lets not forget those wonderful little silicone bands that hold up the PC lamps.

Re: Moonlights

I called the manufacturer and let me just say WOW. They are amazing. The guy didnt even ask for proof of purchase. He took down my address and will send me 3 new ones.
That was a lot easier than i though. Coralife is a great company

Re: Moonlights

Good but spendy. They put out the best halide/PC/moon light fixture but I wish I could get them even cheaper. I wish someone would put out the same type light fixture with T-5 HO's instead of the PC's.

That's true, they are pretty expensive. But now knowing what kind of customer service they have, the price makes it all worth it for me IMO. The peace of mind of knowing if anything goes wrong, they will take care of me fast makes the price tolerable.

Glad you got the problem solved. That's the type of companies I like to deal with.
