    I have a Sunpod fixture.  There are two Moon light panels on each side.  Both containing 3 white and 3 blue leds.   One of the panels works perfect.  The other only has the whites that work.  All the whites are on one outlet and all the blues are on another.  How can I tell if I just need to replace the led's or maybe a resistor or something more complicated.  Im hoping its just an easy fix.   Has anybody had any experience with this? I'm guessing since all three blues are out that it's something more than the led's??

    I would take it apart and see if you can see anything out of the ordinary. Could be a loose wire, or something corroded in there that fried the LEDs. Its going to be hard to guess without getting in there first.

    Hard to say. Could be the drivers. It will be easier once you open it up. Might be time to MOD it for some supplimental lighting with a dedicated driver.

    Ive thought about doing supplemental lighting with those panels. Just not sure how much room i would have to work with inside the fixture
