Same here. I now shop around and usually find a lower price somewhere else that equates more than the 10 I would save using the coupon. Only thing that I buy from them now is T5 bulbs lol.

And, apparently, you’re quite modest about it.

Could be, or could be that area gets too hot. try thermal paste this time, as opposed to the tape.

its the or3 bar yeah 6 ft version. I have 2 of them ive put on the same controller and its always the bar on that controller that burns a bulb. and its in a series so the whole thing goes out.

Also, put some paste between the board and the heatsink. I forget they lay the boards on the heat sink in a long strip. Thermal paste run the whole way down the heatsink where the board rests should also help move the heat away from the board/LED better.

DO you have a volt meter to measure the mA coming out of the controllers? You can do this and compare to see if one is messed up and overdriving the LEDS.
