I REPAIRED A STUDIO LIGHT

Imagine a photographer having client but could not deliver his job on time because his lighting was bad.
He had to call some of his colleagues to borrow from them.

So, immediately he was done with that one client, he had to rush down to my place as early as possible to get his lighting fixed.

Do you know what studio lighting is? It is used by videographers and photographers when taking clips and shots.
Without the lighting, the outcomes are most likely to turn out bad.

The problem of this one was that when ever it is being powered, it will indicate that there's Power in it. But when you press the button to turn on the light, it refuses to turn on.

So, I began tracing the fault on normal terms. From checking if the switch were faulty to checking components around the switches and also checking the connections if they are still intact.
I also tested the LEDs with my LED tester.
Everything was okay except for the switching IC. This IC allows the user to select the level of brightness of the light at a particular time. Since it was bad, it no longer allowed voltage to even flow across-the-board to the LEDs.
So, it had to be changed.

This is an IC which is not always readily available. So I had to go and buy it at plaza.
There's a big Electronics component store there, where all these components are sold.
So, I took a bus down there. It didn't take long.

When I returned, I took out the bad IC using the electric blowers. Then I replaced it with the new one.

Then I tested it and it worked perfectly well like it should.
Always easy as ABC on some days.

So, that was it.
Stay tuned for my next post
