I have a  48" Marineland LED light fixture for several years.

It has started to strobe each time it starts, sometimes lasts 15 to 20 minutes, other time I do not know as when I go into the fish room everything is fine.

Today I could not get the strobe to stop so I just left it off.

Before I do that, I will try and change the power pack to see if that does anything as I have all my lights are LED.

Don't like inter changing power packs as they are from different suppliers and outputs are slightly different.

Any thoughts before I replace it.

Hi Bob , I suspect it's the fixture and not the power supply.
If you have another power supply with the same voltage,watts and same or slightly higher amperage there is no harm switching it to trouble shoot it.
