So you just live with the LEDs being powered-on-but-super-dim if it happens?

Essentially yes, but in my case when my power bar kills power to the drivers, obviously the LEDs completely extinguish. The amount of light that bleeds out of them is barely enough to tell they are even on and certainly not enough for the tank to notice. I would be curious to know if others have experienced this. I am running two parallel strings of x8 5W, 700ma (6-7V) LEDs in series. The drivers are gained up to about 52V and 1400mA.
