Hi. Folks. Im having a go at replacing two cob chips. Ive replaced with 50w 3500k white.
The chip in the unit was a multi array chip. That was burnt out by over heating..as one of the cooling fans wasnt connected.. ive since connected it back up and both are working. But the chips ive installed are flashing with the dimmer switched to off. The dimmer was working fine before i removed the chips. The unit says 435w on the back. But i dont know if thats what it draws at the wall. The unit has 5 Cc drivers. All the same. Says 60-80 v at 680ma.
Have i hooked it up wrong or do i have the wrong chips.
Is the flashing caused by under powering them? And why do some leds have a resistor?
