50" Hanma L.E.D. Condensation........
OK so I got a Hanma L.E.D. and it had condensation in it soon after installation..... I took it apart today to re-seat the gasket with no avail.... Condensation came back with in minutes of reinstall.... Gonna try again tomorrow...... Any other ideas on a fix? Or does anyone wanna buy a light for $400 if I can't fix? Light works great.... Just annoying condensation on passenger side........

Try bringing the light inside the house, get a dehumidfirer in the room and take it apart, let it sit for a couple of hours and put back together. Also you could try using a hair dryer to blown hot air through the light to help dry it out but be careful no to get it too hot and melt something.

I have a question.... I bought a new 50" Hanma L.E.D. light bar and installed it about a month ago. . . . Within a day I had condensation in the one side of the lens (to which I know it's just a rubber gasket that I can re-seat and fix problem). With in two weeks, if that, my light started "bronzing" i would call it. I have been tossing up the idea of just replacing the light and buying a new one, and chocking this one up as a loss cuz I don't know if painting it will effect the heat dissipation off the fins.

All my light ts are Hanma and I have nothing but good things to say about them.... I just got a lemon it looks like.... I took it apart twice now.... I painted the front rails so u only see bronzing from above but I even put black make a gasket on the sketchy part of the rubber gasket and im still Gettin condensation.... It's gotta be coming from somewhere else........ U should be fine.... Put ur lights on and enjoy!

Didn't buy it off ebay....if I got it off ebay it would have been replaced already! Ebay has EXCELLENT customer service.... Got it off a member here who has a connection to Hanma..... Even with him knowing a sales rep from them I still would have to pay the $150 for shipping, but they will replace the light..... But I don't wanna wait four months for shipping there and back and it cost $150 too......
