We’ll see how long it takes to get here. I did mention overnight shipping and let them know my entire crop is at risk because of this problem

How difficult would it be to try replacing the wiring between driver and pcb?
Relatively simple I believe. It has the water tight screw down connectors

I would just swap out wiring and see then. Was also thinking about possibility of the board itself being grounded. That can happen when mounting screws are close to or on top of electrical trace and insulated washers aren’t used.
It does have washers in place…I had a friend look over with me and he said the pads should be completely covered with solder but aren’t…could that cause this issue?
Not sure, have a pic? All that is really required there is for the wire to be connected to that pad. A little sloppy goes to show quality of mars fixtures, but shouldn’t be a problem unless it has splatter all over the mask.

So today for sh1ts and giggles I plugged the light up and to my surprise she’s burning! Something threw it in protect mode obviously but I can’t figure it out. Anywho she’s working and I have a new driver on the way. Maybe I’ll use it to diy an additional board for the tent

I would still swap it out. I don’t mess around with wonky 120vac devices.

I agree. Sounds like an intermittent ground. If you have inspected components and wiring im not really sure where else to look.
