Know what needs replacing. The two components that are most likely to require replacement on a led grow light are the power converters and the led diodes themselves , a fault developing with the led diodes themselves would be unusual as quality led diodes from market leading manufacturers Cree, Osram, Bridgelux etc., very rarely display faults. More often than not, it is a problem with the power converters that cause the faults in led grow lights.

2
Lay the led grow light face down (fans facing you) on a soft towel , polystyrene block etc to avoid damage to face of led grow light.

The front case of the LED grow light houses the led panels and are connected to the rear case by 3-6 electrical connections(depending upon light size). Simply unclip these electrical connections to enable the front case to be separated from the rear case. You will notice that the rear case has black boxes which connect to the front case via electrical wires which you have just unclipped , these black boxes on the rear case are the power converters.

At this point, if a power converter is to be replaced these are now easily viewed(see step above to identify power converters) as are the extract fans.

At this point, if a power converter is to be replaced these are now easily viewed(see step above to identify power converters) as are the extract fans. The power converters are normally held in place by a small bar placed over the power converters and held in place by two small bolts.Undo these two nuts and remove the retaining bar , unclip the power lead into the power converter and lift out the faulty power converter.

Fit the new power converter. This is a straightforward process. Connect the new power converter to the power lead previously disconnected. Place the power converter in position and place the retaining bar over the power converters.Screw on the bolts on the retaining bar and connect the front case to the rear case via the small electrical clips previously unclipped. Now screw the front case and rear case together and turn on your led grow light. Job done!
