    Hey there,

    NIce work, and sorry they never got back to you.
    I just wondered did you send a second reply, etc.? Things do get lost sometimes.

    In preparation for my 180g going online, I also got a 3rd, chinese style LED.

    But this time, multiple colors and dimmers!
    Each light also has 4 purple/violets- I think tries to match UV.
    These thinkgs are multiple colors and also come standard with 90degree lenses.

    I hung it on my current 125g, right between the 2 , 2 color only, non dimmable TaoTronics I currently have.

    Wow- you can SEE the difference, and really tweak it with t he dimmers- all for $142shipped!
    Here's the thread on it:

    I'm glad you are figuring yours out, and getting them working again!
    Nice work btw

    I just stumble upon this thread and joined the forum..lol, Cant hurt to be in another forum....Anyway, salsalito25, Where did you get those replacement LED's for your Tao-tronics light? . My light had the same exact problem.. I read your post, got out the multimeter and found the bad LED..I bought my lights used on eBay , not directly from Tao-Tronics..I would like to buy a few extra bulbs to have on hand if this happens again.. I just Installed a jumper for the time being and the light works fine minus 1 Bulb.. Any help would be great finding the replacement bulbs.. thanks
