Odysea light fixture with a dim LED

[AquaticAustin]

So I have a 48" 3 bulb odyssea http://www.aquatraders.com/48-inch-3x54W-T5-Aquarium-Light-Digi-Timer-Fixture-p/52315.htm light fixture and 2/4 of the moonlights are really bright while 2/4 are much dimmer, but one is noticeably dimmer than the other but still deffinitely on. Could this be a problem with the unit not getting enough power? I have it in a socket that is split 5 ways... its either that or its a defect and aquatraders are TERRIBLE at customer support but there really isnt much to fix about a LED anyway I guess.... just thought id see if anyone know of any potential fixes

I have a 48" quad t5h0 Odysea and the 4 led moonlights seem equally bright, and it is sharing a socket with quite a few other plugs. including a 94w compact light

yea i tried a diff socket and it is the same... must be a defect... oh well I guess thats the risk you take when you go the cheap route

it might be that those two LEDs are damaged somehow, maybe overheated.

yeah id say its a heat problem. thats the only thing bad about their fixtures but I keep a computer fan breathing onto mine and it keeps cool

You could pick up a replacement LED at Radio Shack. It's not special.
