I have flickering ac infinity lights. Connected and disconnected to controller. It won’t let me post a video but the video is on my most recent week of flower on my diary. Has anybody ever experienced this? And how did you fix?

I personally use have two of these bad boys, with substantial hours on them controlled through an AC Infinity controller. I have never experienced this issue. I actually am infatuated with my S33s, I crank DLI out with a pair in a 2x4. I have had similar experiences with Vivosun controllers over time with internal circuits failing (like testing the device and cords they're fine) where a factory reset doesn't work. I imagine the power supply via USBC (and the current that implies) does not mesh well with the low-current control signals over time, or at least the internal circuits. UPDATE US. I tore them a new one over a shoddy stitching job on a pro-level tent, they reshipped me one quickly. Each AC Infinity item should have a quality control number on it so they can dial in the issue and confirm you deserve a replacement. I love their innovation, and don't mind paying a premium for quality assurances, but this ain't it. Controllers are very much the future of the industry and this is terrible advertising until resolved. @ACINFINITYINC

could also be related to dimming, try 100% power if not currently. i'm sure they'll have a step-by-step troubleshooting process to figure it out.. just call them up first so you don't repeat a bunch of effort. i'd wager something fucked up with the refresh rate or wahtever it is called... the herz of the flicker that is always there but is too fast for our eyes to see it.

So you know it is the light and not the controller with your troubleshooting. Next step is to call ac infinity and ask about warranty service for the LED light. something wrong with the driver or wiring? tough to say. don't try to diy a fix before contacting ac infinity. a problem with typical warranty service is you get a refurb swap out. so, hopefully it's something simple you can fix and doesn't need replacement. a refurb is better than a defective LED at the least.

Anyway to bypass the controller? Give her the electric bypassing the controller? Just to see if it's drivers or controller. Possibly try switching controller with another (most likely not possible). 2 year manufacturers warranty but I expect much better from AC infinity. Ac shitfinity shall be its name until resolved! Shame, expensive piece of equipment, stressful too, hope you find a quick remedy.
