White leds stopped working
I have a 120w blue/white led light and when I dimmed down the whites 10 seconds later they all shut off and won't come back on. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or what to look for when I open it up because I want to try fix it myself. Thanks for any help.

I opened it up and I think it is the part that is circled that went bad. Anyone know where to find a replacement?

Those are not brand name drivers. Only the Chineese company that made it would know where to get this. Sorry, but I think you will want to buy a new light fixture.

This can also be caused by a shorted LED. Make an LED tester and check each LED on that channel when one doesn't light up, you found your problem. This has happened to me a number of times with these same fixtures. It was then I realized how easy it is to change out LEDs and alter the spectrum. An LED tester is a must if you plan on keeping these LED fixtures long term.
