My Mitras Lightbar died - which is the faulty part?

mvrabec · 07/04/2017, 02:13 PM

After not receiving any response neither from the GHL support forum, nor from the GHL direct support email given in the sticky post above, I thought to ask you guys for advice.

My Mitras Lightbar has died. Setup consists of a Mitras 160 lightbar with a 100W PSU, driven by Profilux 3.1T ex via splitter. Connecting the lightbar directly to the PSU does not help.

Unfortunately GHL gear is not sold in my country, so I am relying on online ordering. Therefore I would want to make sure which part of my setup is faulty before replacing (or sending for repairs) anything.

With multimeter, I am able to measure 24V of output voltage from the PSU, therefore I presume that PSU is fine?

Is there anything I could do to check the lightbar itself to make sure it is the culprit?

Thanks for any hints or suggestions.
