Neptune GRO light

[jisherwood]

Has anyone had to replace the 24 volt connector on the Refugium GRO light? Mine has some how trashed and I have no clue what happen to it. I have contacted Neptune support and am waiting on an email back on how much it is going to cost to repair. Looking for a good DIY idea. Thanks

Looks like any 24v 1amp or greater power supply can run it.

Need a better look at what is " broke"?

Here you go finally had time to snap pic. Got a hold of Neptune tech support and their response not fixable Offered on at 50% off. Going to try with 24v 1amp power supply. If it doesn't work then purchase one @ 50%. Learned my lesson.

Am I missing something?
Oh if one could open the light easily you can replace the entire cord sans the one end you need to cut off.

Hey just cu the end off and marry up the broken piece. Solder the new end on and all is good to go. Thanks for the repair idea. Will update this once I get it replaced.

I just purchased this same light last month. I went to rearrange my setup and the connector would not come out of my energy bar. I finally got it out and it is broke exactly the same as yours.

Instead purchased the following from Amazon. Cut the broken end off and reconnected the new ends. Works like a champ.
