Brian Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 A heads up to anyone owning Thomann 36x3W LED cans and similar. There is a design flaw on these units where the metal latch on the DMX input XLR can push/fall inside the lantern. Once in there it can then short out on the main PCB. I've just had a unit repaired under warranty by Thomann for this fault ( it shorted out and killed the green channel PSU) and this morning I've just learned of another occurrence on a colleague's unit. A possible fix is to hot-melt glue the latch in place. I suggest anyone owning these units takes a good look at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Over the holiday period I was contacted by a member seeking clarification as to which connector I was talking about. As a picture is worth a thousand words... The connector with the latch still in place... The connector with the latch missing... The latch...

peternewman Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I don't own any Brian, but I'm curious, would a Neutrik connector be a direct swap, or is the PCB pin placement incompatible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
