    I rewired the LED twice and the whites would still not come on, At this point I figured it was the wires. So I bought a roll of the 15 amp wire from the depot. Mind you the unit was unplugged, as soon as I connected the last wire in the led chain the light came on then started to dim draining the charge in the driver( good sign).

    After powering up the LEDs, turn it down to 40% at 7 inch. It was looking good, until the whites turned off :devil: and then turned back on:confused:, then I started to hear a low sizzling sound coming from within the driver then it stop. 20 min later it began again then it stop, the only thing I could think of is that I need a better driver to power the whites.
    All in all I am happy with the kit and how it makes the coral pop now and would recommend it, but I would spend the extra cash and get a better driver then the one you get with this kit
