Light Solutions ETERE

I continue to write a series of articles on repair our favorite wings.
We sell a lot of them and they periodically break. Some customers are changing to new - and some repairs yourself. For them, we are doing all of these instructions.

Smart led light up rainbow isis wings in action

As usual, after the failure, we ask the client to send the video to a malfunction. And the customer sent to us this video:

In this video we can see that part of the wing is operating normally and the other part is not. We see the light noise. This item 3.1 or 3.2 of the repair manual on first look. Because the working part of the wing, and the other part is not working.

3.1 - Damaged control wire between the two LEDs.
3.2 - LED factory defect - and he stopped to send a control signal to the next LED.

We first consider Paragraph 3.1

Firstly turn on wings

Try to find the last normal working LED in the chain

After the last working LEDs we found broken wire

Sometimes it can be a broken wire inside the containment, but it can be pulled out and wire will come out

For fix you need some soldering equipment and parts from repair kit

• Solder iron
• Solder
• Wire cutter
• Repair kit

Separate LEDs on the wing

You see the LED in the containment

Carefully cut off the shell

Like this

Touch a soldering iron to the shell and heat the glue inside

When the glue is warmed up, it will become soft - just pull the shell down

Cut shell remnant

From torn wires must be removed shell and prepare it for soldering

Add at the end of the solder wire

Like this

Locate the LED leg without wires

Attach the wire to the prepared leg of the LED

And solder it

Everything is ready - you need to restore the protective shell

Cut one of the wires in the middle

Prepare the ends of the wires to solder - as we did above

Take the protective cover from the repair kit

Add solder to ends of wires

Like this

Use shells, big for leds and small to cover wires

Solder two wires together - as it was before

Like this

Repeat for the second wire

Repeat the same for the third wire

Use the glue gun and Apply glue to the place of soldering

Like this

Pull the protective cover on the glue

Repeat this for all three wires

Use a soldering iron to heat up the protective shell

Take a large protective shell

And pull it to the LED

Use a glue gun and Apply glue inside the containment

From one side

From second too

Like this

Use the plastic mounting of the repair kit, and attach the LED at its original place

Like this

Cut the rest by cutters

Done

After connecting, we see that both sides of the wing work

Next consider Paragraph 3.2

The main difference is that you need to replace the LED. Sometimes factory marriage, and it can only be replaced.
Usually need to replace a malfunctioning first LED in the chain, but if that does not work you need to replace the last well-functioning LED.
The first stage is to remove the protective cover from the LED. Do it just like we described above.

LED connection circuit

It is very important - do not mix up the order of connection, be very careful and do everything strictly according to instructions or circuit diagram.

That's what you need from the repair kit

Take the prepared LED and see how it is soldered

Отрежьте ножки у светодиода как показанно на примере

Like this

Add solder to ends of  legs

Like this

Take two LEDs so that the procedure for connecting the same (black dots inside the LEDs must be at the top)

Unsolder first wire and solder it to the same place, but the new LED

Like this

Repeat with the next wire

Like this

And also with the third wire

And also with the last wire

Like this

After all this - you need to put on the LED protective cover and test - how to do this can see above

 We have completed the repair of torn wires, thank you for what you are spending your time on all this. You get a great experience and can correct such failure in the future on their own and very quickly.

That's how they look at work:
