You have to email Metroboard and inquire about them. These are “2W” model, there was also a “10W” model which are brighter and longer. These were used on discontinued models so my guess is once stock is exhausted they’ll be gone.

I don’t even run the 2W at full brightness as I only use them as positional lighting so others can see me. I personally run them in series (all 4 LEDs, two per side) at 9.00V which draws 23mA (124mW front + 83mW rear).

Funny; the video I almost took was me hosing off the skate when I got home. I didn’t want the salt eating it alive in the closet.

Thane isn’t affected at all by brine right?
@RipTideSports?

just metal? plastics?

Nah it doesn’t affect it at alll.

Mostly the steel bolts (truck hardware) and wheel and motor bearings. If you built it well, everything else is mostly inert.

An update: the Unity has blown its antispark already after just shy of two months and probably 60 power cycles -ish. (I usually turn it on about once per day, because I have the shutdown timeout set at 5 hours)

Luckily, I wired it with a loopkey :slight_smile: from the get-go so there is no repair needed. The power button changed to a power light is the only difference now.

Honestly, I didn’t open it.

It works now so it’s not getting opened unless/until it ceases to work safely.

I was thinking water on the power button

hmm rubber cap over power switch seems like a good idea. Can just print it.

Yeah this thought I had also but I don’t know if that would cause this failure mode.

But I don’t know.

It also did something really weird right at that moment, so IDK

right shorting it out should be ok

but fucin no way I’d figure it out.

If the board works, it’s staying together :rofl:

I’ve learned my lessons. I have other boards that don’t work that need the attention.
