FAQ: No Light



Lights on a DR2 or DR1 do not turn on ( or are dim)

See also "Dim Lights" first




AL-WS-DR2 verification first
Action
Result
No DR2 or DR1 installed
are LED wired to an On/Off switch
check the model number of the Fixture
only 48v type fixtures can be used without a DR2 or DR1.   If you attach a 660 mA directly to the 51v power source ( or via a On/Off switch ) the bulb will flash - maybe only once, and might be damaged.
Verify that 48v or 51v present at the AL-WS switch.
Count the number of LEDs
if there are 7 or more LEDs in series, the lights will not turn on at all
if there are 6 in series - they will be not be bright enough
See "dim lights"





Power to AL-WS is OKay, No Light



Reversed LEDs ( one or all )
if any of the 5 LEDs are wiring backwards - none will turn on
use the R@R-CCT as a reverse detector - insert it instead of a fixture one by one to see if the Red light goes on - indicating a reverse connection
Broken Wiring
if any of the wiring to the LEDs is broken - none will turn on in that string or CCT color

If there might be a cut wire - then remove the wires from the DR2, bypass all LEDs by plugging the male / female to together, then measure 0 ohms on each up loop and down loop.   If there is an open, then make a short circuit OJ-606 and move the that short from fixture to fixture until the break is found.

Using 48v LEDs in series  If you are using the Value LEDs ( 48v model ) in series - they will not turn on.  
The 48v LEDs must be wired in parallel.  
Defective Fixture.  
If the AL-R@R-CCT test fixture works but the P023R6 or DL-120 ( etc ) does not work, or only one color works - then the fixture is defective
    a) Check that the Fixture side of the OJ-606 is intact
    b) the internal wiring must have been damaged in shipment- ask for a replacement. 
No 48 or 51v at the switch

Check if Polarity is reversed ( minus 0.8 volts )
Power is shorted and the supply has shut down ( it will blink the power light at the load center )
Check for broken wires
    - check the power panel port first
