    Hello,

    Unfortunately that is very common with the Meanwell ELN drivers. Sometimes the LEDs will be barely lit, while other times (using the same model driver) they won't be. The only way I know of to turn that off is to unplug the driver completely.

    Mine does the same thing, with only one of the 48Ds.
    One thing tho, are you gonna use the lid on the top? It might not be a good idea when it comes to the gas exchange effect.

    Mine do it too if I just turn the knob all the way down. If the timer turns it off though they go completely out.
