Profilux problem

  • I am sorry to post in english, but i hope anyone can help.


    I bought a Profilux II plus, and it seems #3 socket wont come on.
    Light wont come on on bar either.


    Also, yesterday #2 socket stopped working, light remains on, but will not supply power to the socket.


    Anyone can help me ?


    Thank you, Marc.

  • Hi Marc,
    welcome to the forum!
    Well, unfortunately I am not the one, who can help. I never used a Profilux myself.
    I am sure that you studied the manual and the lights are connected and programmed accordingly.
    If using GHL lamps, only control lines (L1/L2) are connected to Profilux and powercords to a normal
    powerplug (without Profilux).
    If you're using other Lamps, are you sure they are dimable? EVG (ballast) set up correctly in Profilux?
    Rainday/storm etc. simulation off? Bulb burnin function still disabled?
    Wasn't there a "lightdemo" mode, were the lamps are continuously dimmed up/down? What does this do to your lamps?
    So many options... Maybe its simply broken. :frowning_face:
    Best,
    Ralf

  • Thank you for the warm welcome Ralf,


    The dimmable L/sockets were not used, i was simply using the on/off settings on the power bar.


    It just seems 2 of them do not function.


    I have been able to program all other channels with no worry, but 2 of them seem broken.


    Yes, i have read the manual many times, i just thought a couple of you out there might have used the profilux before.


    I have been given the first profilux in North America, so it is difficult for me to get any help with it.
    But i will keep trying, other wise it is a wonderful controller.


    I thank you for taking the time to reply to me.


    Ralf, if it is the same one i do believe you just had reefcentral tank of the month ?
    If so i wanted to congratulate you on a wonderful job...a beautiful tank to say the least.


    If you are interested, i have a thread aswell on mine there..heres a link to the latest updates.


    It is only 1 yr old..so still not full of many corals and fish yet..takes much time.. :smiling_face:

    Thank you again Ralf.

  • Hello Marc,


    GHL, the manufacturer, is also posting in this forum. Possibly, the admin can forward the question/s to GHL, they might be able to help you directly.


    @ TISI:


    Please forward the question/s to GHL.

  • Marc,


    uuups, you got me ;-).


    Amazing setup you have there.
    I esp. like your aquascape, looking very natural with enough room for coral to grow and fish to swim through.
    I adore your craftsmanship on building the system. I for sure wouldn't be able to build such a system with that high amount of DIY parts. (Well, I would be able to build something, but wouldn't dare to fill it with water afterwards :winking_face: ).


    For not running completely off topic...
    As programming the ProfiLux clock seems to be relatively straight forward, it looks like there's a
    hardware defect. Hopefully GHL is reading this and able to help somehow.


    Thanks for your kind words,
    Ralf
