Maxspect Razor r420r
 

Hello i purchased a maxspect razor r420r and the blue channel doesnt seem to be working. Does anybody else run this light ? Have you had any problems ?

No problems with the light what so ever. I have a pair of them for over a year. before that I had their first generation light and they offered me a credit when it ran into problems after 3 years of use.

Take it back to where you purchased it or contact Maxspect directly.

I have contacted maxspect directly, the problem is is that the loght is bought 2nd hand. I submitted a ticked for support but havent recieved an answer quite yet. Ive read a few problems of people running into this and was wondering if anyone on here has had this problem and got it resolved or fixed it themselves.

I had the same happen to me on a fixture...

The pads are wired so if one goes out, they all go out...
If I recall this happens when blue channel is run at 100%

It was out of warranty but support gave me instructions on how to diagnose this issue.

Once confirmed, I ordered a replacement pad from my LFS, and switched out the burnt pad quite painlessly.

I have a razor and bought a second used one but once I took it home i realized nearly 1/4th of the LEDs are burnt out. How much were the new LED pads?

The LED pad is about $60.

I'll post up the instructions later on how to test which pad is the one with the burnt out LED.

That would be greatly appreciated

To identify which LED pad is the problem:
The pads are in series, so when one is done, they will all stop working.
Try bypassing a pad by shorting it.
Use a copper wire and connect B+ to B-.
When you bypass the faulty pad, the others will light.

When you remove the cover, you will see the connections are labeled.
So just follow the steps above.

I used this method to isolate and replace a faulty pad.
I'm a cable guy, so I just used a small piece of copper core from a piece of coax

I had my blue channel die on both of my units after around 2 years. Maxspect did replace the control board I think. My LEDs looked burnt almost, the area around each of the blue diodes was cracked. Didnt end up replacing the light pod and they have worked for the last 6 months like new.

I am an electrician aswell so shouldnt be a big deal just never dealt with lights like this. Are all the terminals labeled a(+)(-) and b (+)(-)? I havent quite opened up the fixture itself yet as i wanted to contact maxspect and see what they said.
