    Bummer,

    Two Led lights (48 inch) went out and a third the pin is just hanging.

    SOme water was spraying up under my hood and covered 4 tubes with salt.
    Salt went into two tubes and browned them out. The third works but is bent pin.

    So hell yeah half of my $2000 lighting is down!

    Any way does any one know a way to get this for cheaper then $240 each?
    Sunbrite 12,000 K Gen 2 T10 LED Lamp Tube 48 inch.

    Looks great with three, and I likely never knew,.

    Any ideas? Do I need to get a job?
    Do the Lights ever come up used?

    Is there any way to remove the end cap.? and slide the whole led board out.? and replace the bad Leds. one with a bent pin is a easy fix.. Get a pair of needle nose pliers gently bend the pin straight. If you can post some pic's I may be able to see something that may come apart to get to the bad leds.
