Radion 3 power brick (supply) going bad

[anthony]

Just wonder if anybody has had this problem.I know it's the power supply because when I switch that light to another power supply, it works fine. Also I want to see if there's anybody who may have one available, maybe the light broke, but they still have the power supply. Or is there any way to fix this one I have?

Consumer device manufacturers, including aquarium lights, almost never manufacture their own DC power supplies. You don't have to order one from the light company/distributor. You could get one that matches the same specifications.
That said- Read the DC voltage and amperage rating that must be displayed on the outside of the power ‘brick’. The center pin is almost always positive and the outside (barrel) is almost always negative. If in doubt check it using a multimeter, or get someone skilled in their use to check it for you. If you are ordering a replacement DC supply, such as from Amazon or similar source, match the DC voltage exactly. and amperage at or above what your existing one says. The connector must match the physical dimensions exactly as well.

You should probably specify XR15 or XR30. They have different amp ratings.

Do they have an adapter to go from the pin connector style(on the white box) to the barrel connector(on the smaller black box)?
