One of the original lights in my Biocube 14 stopped working and so did the fans. Can I replace the light system with this LED kit?

You will need to order probably two sets as they do not put out much light. I had two of these strips on my 24 aqua pods and it was not enough light at all.

I have the Oceanic biocube 14 and upgraded recently using this exact Current USA LED kit. The mounts on my hood were different but was able to still creatively install using the same screws used for the original lighting. I even purchased the Current USA Ramp Pro to control the lighting schedule. Both were purchased from Amazon site.

Yes. You can see how people have done this on YouTube. Most people do keep a fan though. I bout the kit to go over a BioCube 8 that I modded to be rimless and so far it's great.

you can if you replace the individual resistors but that will kill the leds faster so in short i would not try it

Simple answer, meant respectfully: if you have to ask, then probably not unless you have a friend who is technically inclined.. But the loss of 1 or 2 leds wouldn't really matter. More than a few failures, and it would probably be best to replace the whole unit.

The one in picture #3 is correct. There are holes in the heat sinks to get the hardware in. The first one I ordered only half of the LEDs worked, a replacement one was sent out and that one works fine.

The lights are tiny LEDs built into the fan. Quick and simple method: Uninstall the LED fans and reinstall new fans that do not have built-in LED lights.

The bulb itself can't be changed that I can see. I suspect you would have to buy the light assembly. It is sealed so I don't think bugs can get into it. I haven't had a problem with bugs. Given the life expectancy of LED lights and the amount of time I have the light on in my bedroom, I figure by the time it burns out I will want a new fan anyway. Some LED lights will last 20,000 - 30,000 hours. At an average of 3 hr/day that works out to about 27 years. I'm sure the motor or something else will fail before the light. I do really like the fan/light. I also purchased the wall remote, which is nice too.

I had to buy a second part, The first one I bought did not match word for word, letter for letter, even though both looked exactly the same, but mounting holes were different, so my advice is to try and and find one that matches what you have word for word, letter for letter, all of these LED replacements that I found were all HD, Hope this helps and good luck

No. The LEDs are always on.Only the front two fans are LED, so you could just buy two 120/mm140mm fans to replace them.

Mine still working Fan and LED normally. I have this item for so long never had any trouble. I just wished the fan could be stronger

It is a non user serviceable sealed assembly. The LEDs should last 10's of thousands of hours. However if one goes out then 3 will because there are 4 x parallel series of 3 LEDs. If one series of LEDs goes out the odds are the problem is the driver circuit not the LED itself, so you would either accept that it became a ~ 15W light that's a little dimmer or buy a new one.

You don't. The LEDs should last a minimum of 5 years. I it doesn't, send it back!

They would have to have some type of ballast system to power the light. I would just replace the entire unit. There cheap. Mine seem to last about 3 years but i only run it on the weekends. I want to update to an LED in the future. Good Luck.

Yes, this can be done. You run a 14/2 romex wire to fan and connect both the fan leads and light leads to the 14/2. You need to wire the low voltage leads, in the fan jbox, to each other, short circuiting them.

If you contact Thermaletake they have the original fans that came with the case that will work with the changing LED colors.

There would be no bulbs to replace because the lighting mechanism uses an LED. I don't know if you can replace LED's.

No, this will only fit the open LED slot in your BioCube hood, not the fluorescent slot.

Sorry, I don't know. In researching microscopes recently I first learned that LED's are not necessarily standardized and may be proprietary. Thus, it would probably be wise (for both of us) to request the specification for the LED's used in the fixture. In fact, I'm going examine mine to see if the lights are even replaceable. It might be one of those disposable objects.
