Good day. I own a spa that has Sloan led lights throughout. Recently the blue lights have stopped working. It's not just one individual light, it's all the blue lights. As they cycle through the rainbow of colors, blue just never comes on. For a while it would start working after a few minutes, but last night I gave it about 10 minutes and it never started, so I "think" it's toast.

I am assuming it's the LED controller, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to come on here and ask for anyone's experience. You guys never point me wrong, and I'm always proven that I don't know everything:)

I've attached a picture and also a link for the product in case anyone travels down this road behind me.

Unfortunately, the controller is not the only variable, you might need to replace the splitters.

A short on the blue circuit at ANY POINT will kill the blue circuit for ALL of the lights. I have tracked them down a couple of times, but now will not touch it unless I am replacing the whole mess. It's cheaper (at my rates) to just put in all new than spend the time tracking it down. :cry:
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

How would I know how many splitters I have? This is sounding more like a spring project:(

Is it always the blue that fails first?
 
Well, since they come with various numbers of LEDs on the splitter doohickey you can't know. You can count your LEDs and see how many you need. But if your spa is full foam then they are all buried in the foam.
Nope, it's pretty random in my experience. Definitely try the controller first, but if it doesn't do the trick and you have 60 lighted jets or such, you might want to just do it all rather than try to track it down. Which is what I was getting at in my post last night, but I wasn't very clear. Sorry, it's often quite late before I have a chance to jump on here.
But if you get into it and find a water leak, that's likely the spot.
