The 460nm diodes ALWAYS burn up their lenses within a year or two 🤬

For such expensive lights, they sure use some cheapo diodes! 🙄

Did you know the quality of the diode does not have a big effect on the spectrum or quality of light it produces? It largely only changes the heat generated, and so, the energy consumption and lifespan of the diode. 🤔

So, we just do a quick little 45 min swap out of the cheap, burnt up leds for some higher quality diodes that should last for years to come and just like that, better than brand new!
