Re: LED Lighting

["Alancc" <alan.cc@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Had a word with thier tech guy, aparently its a component which will over
heat with out the fan which was added as an after thought. Normally the
enclosure is sealed so no air flow, I am going to try leaving the bottom
off
and raising the top with some washers, failing that a larger quiet fan. The
tube PSU has no fan as it's a newer design where the fault has been
rectified.
