storminstang06 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I've had this CCB for maybe a year and a half and it's never been used in a display (trying to get familiar with how rgb works and all). I was planning on using it as a last minute addition to the Halloween display this year, and I probably still will, but it has a minor issue. In one of the bulbs, the green light is barely coming on. It is responsive to all commands, just not bright. Not too big of a deal, but it drastically changes some of the colors I'm trying to achieve. In HU, I tested it to see what percentage of r and b was needed to make a fully lit g make a white bulb. I think it was somewhere around 20-30%! Is there a possible simple fix to get the green light to be as bright as it should be or will it need to be shipped for repair? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianchristmas Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I think that pixel needs to be replaced, either the LED or the IC chip inside is faulty. The simplest fix would be to ask LOR to send you a replacement pixel, then just cut the bad pixel out of the string and solder and heat shrink the replacement pixel in its place. This is a common problem also on Chinese pixel strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
