[Zacquir]

Hi all. In need of help. My green element adaptor just blew. It just sparked followed by some smoke and burnt smell. Cant turn it on afterwards.

What should i do?
Where do i get a new adaptor for it?
Is the main light still operable if i change the adaptor?

Where is the burn? I have the same experience before on the green element Evo, I only change the power supply, led workijg

[Zacquir]

Its at the power plug head itself. Can still smell the burnt. Where can i go buy the head adaptor?

Sim lim tower

[Zacquir]

Thanks for the info all.
I managed to call eastoceansg. They sell the adapter for my 45cm series at $8.

My opinion is if it burn so easily then it is dangerous... if no one is at home, and the adaptor burn... the result is horrible...

[Zacquir]

Hmm. In that case i shall go get from simlim. Perhaps more reliable. Im thinking the same too. It is dangerous.

[IrvineChen]

Yeah... maybe find similar with bigger ampre.. so if your led require 2A then get 5A.. at least got some buffet

[Zacquir]

Thanks for the advice. Never thought of that. Not quite eletrical savvy.

That's abit scary. I just bought the green element led too. And the adapter get rather hot.

How long you been using the light?

[Zacquir]

I bought it 2nd hand. But still new and good condition. Used only for a month. The light was about 2months from previous user.

[Zacquir]

If i get the adaptor with a higher Ampere. Wont it cause the led bulb to blow?

[IrvineChen]

Nope... they only supply the require Ampre to the Led...

[seudzar]

It's all about luck. Mine used for 6 months then blow. I replace the power supply to the industrial type which is more robust.

[seudzar]

Oh. No point buying power supply from sim lim tower, all are overpriced.

[IrvineChen]

I think you have source for the wrong adaptor.. the Sim lim selling those Laptop adaptor at pretty low price.. do go look for AC to DC transformer... I think the owner thought you going for those LED strip.. so introduce you buy those $50 want

[seudzar]

Nope, I did ask around. The pricing is step. End up I got a switch mode power supply from sm system which is $30+ and more than enough wattage to power 2 lights

[IrvineChen]

In long run, you don't have to change the adaptor.. just image $8 every few years.. plus it give you the safe guarantee cause it never go hot.. haha..

[Zacquir]

Is 'sm system' the name of the shop at simlim? Care to share a pic of it?
