Hey folks, with the help of Mike over at RapidLED, I figured out the problem. The LEDs being so dim was a result of the dimmer circuit not functioning. You'd see the same results if the leds were wired correctly to the drivers, but the dimmer was not set up at all. In order to test this, once...

Here is an additional tidbit - I just realized tonight that the lights are turning on. They are barely visible though... really really dim. Does that make it easier for someone to offer troubleshooting advice? I tried turning the SV2 knob once I realized this, but turning it further...

Done, and might as well post them here as well... http://s872.photobucket.com/albums/ab288/Ender62/LEDs/

With just the adapter plugged in, I tested 9V across the leads. And the blue and white are matched to the + and -, respectively. I used this spec sheet for reference: http://www.meanwell.com/search/eln-60/eln-60-spec.pdf Thanks for taking the time to help me figure this out.

It's all soldered - I didn't like the bullet connectors. I tested across each LED with a multimeter, and they are all labeled and soldered correctly. I'm basically 10000% sure that something is off with the dimmer circuit, but I don't understand the circuit so it's making it extremely...

Thanks for the response RapidLED! Is there any way to know which leads on the 2.1mm jack are positive/negative/ground? I can't find any breakdown online... this is the jack I am using: http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/DCJ-1/2.1MM-DC-POWER-JACK/1.html EDIT: I think I got it right...

Hey folks, I just finished soldering and assembling my fixture, based on your guide Smoq, and I seem to have a problem: The lights do not actually turn on, but they blink briefly a few seconds after I unplug them. Any idea what I did wrong, and how I can fix it? EDIT: I think it might have...

Tank, equipment and livestock sold and picked up. Looking forward to doing it all again sometime soon...

Sold to Louoner.

Bump.

Bump. $300 full setup; LR, livestock, supplies, etc.

Pending to Louoner.

Bump. Believe it or not, another head of the hammer is splitting. Make that 6 heads now (when it rains, it pours?) Need this gone within the next month... please make an offer, if you are interested. I think this is a pretty great deal for a starter setup.

Bump. Make an offer, any offer. Will also donate to a "good cause" (I dunno... say your kid wants a goldfish tank :)). Pickup is on the upper east side, Manhattan.
