    Cleaning an LED

    After cleaning my fans, I realized the fan and workings of my LED might also need cleaning. Before I open the unit, can anyone think of any hurdles I might face? The warranty is long expired so I'm not worrying about breaking that little void seal.

      More current draw with 110v. I took 20kv in turning on a high voltage generator. No amperage there,. just an arc and a flash. Didn't hurt a bit just was a little silly for awhile.

      To save time and water, FB, would you suggest bathing with it be efficient and effective? I use Ivory soap and Head and Shoulders shampoo. If I turn my portable showerhead to pulse I can put it under the bath water and make a jacuzzi. Of course I'll wear an aluminum foil hat. What color would you say this is?

      Would you like a free lunch with that? Geez you know I don't give iNSTRUCTION! oK fINE! sTEP 1 > uNplug the lights!! If a quant board use a well wrung out microfiber cloth and wipe gently then be sure to air dry awhile before you plug them back in. That's all I got, if you want more you will have to solicit more on GWE! If you have a blurple light in a can you can get a can of compressed air at a hardware store or online and blow out the dust. Wipe the fan blades if you can and they will run more quietly and efficiently. All warranties expressed or implied are heretofore canceled, voided and denied vehemently. These NON instructions will self destruct in 30 seconds!

        Thanks for that TABO. Because of the information herein, about my electrical experience, I don't like messing with straight electrical stuff. I need moving parts.

      TOKABIGONE My experience was winding up on my back, on the middle of a grocery store aisle. I came to with my supervisor standing over me, telling me to get up. I asked him if he knew what just happened. He told me to go get rubber gloves. I got the gloves, walked by supervisor, slapped package of gloves on his chest and said, 'You do it, asshole.' A short time after, I enlisted in the US Army.
      As a kid, I licked the track of our electric slot car setup. That was just a shock. No biggie.

        As a kid I was bullied. As a mid-late teen, not cocky. A rude asshole. That's why I enlisted. I came out an alcoholic with no self confidence, hooked on tobacco, and with a belly from eating army food and booze.
        Now? Well, you're going to have to check your own morals for those adjectives.
