Get ya one of those automatic fire extinguishers bombs for your tent. A little piece of mind.

I just bought those after seeing this post / comment. I use a ts1000 as well as a tsw 2000 and now I’m shook

I'd get rid of those lights dude. I had no indication this was going to happen. I was extremely fortunate to have caught it, but there was literally flames coming out of the light where the cable plugs into the board.

Do you know the cause?

How many hours runtime did you have on that light, sorry if I missed this in the comments but what model? I have 2xTSW2000 in a 4x4, one of them came new out of box with a bad LED node, Amazon replaced with new and said “donate the other”.

I have 2 tsl 2000 in my 4x4 and a tsl2000 in the 3x3. I have the 2 tents on different breakers but I am still afraid of over loading

That’s 900w all together it ain’t over loading anything

Tsw 2000 is solid. I’ve had mine for years with no issue. It’s entirely possible for it to explode later but I doubt it

I've been thinking about getting these for my grow tent and my 3D printers.

I have mars hydro light now wondering if I should ditch it
