LED bar leak

[TheGreenThing]

Guys need help my led bar have moist inside the glass.. What to do?
This is my led bar 31.5" 180W

I had the Same issue, I opened mine, cleaned the glass and resealed with Sikaflex, no issues since.

Have a look at where the wire leads into the bar and see if there is a leak there.

Pretty hard to locate where moisture is coming from. Perhaps take it apart and run some sillicone sealant alone the housing?

X2 worked for me

This tends to happen on bars that don't have a breather. More expensive ones have a breather on either end. What brand is it ?

[TheGreenThing]

i dont have any idea what brand is my led bar.. All i know is its made in china oh is my LED bar can be dismantle? My car is not here right now..

[BIGFOOTJR]

Screws on each side should be able to do it.

I just revealed the glass from the outside and drilled 3x 1/8 drain holes in the bottom. Occasionally gets a bit of mist in it, but clears up quickly

Pictures will be very much appreciated

Im currently dismantling my led bar im stuck after this.. I cant slide the glass out.. So far i have removed the side metal cover

[BIGFOOTJR]

Look down the cooling fins for any other screws? Does that top aluminium cover slide off?

[TheGreenThing]

It doesnt have any screws at the bottom..
Sides only... Heres an update, ive put some sealant on the wire.. & right im gonna let it dry by placing a blower fan on the sides.. Km gonna leave it for a day..band Hope that dries up tomorrow.. Any suggestion how do i remove the glass so i could wipe it out

The only opening i saw was the sides & where the wires goes in the bar.

[TheGreenThing]

Will it break the glass if use heat gun to remove the seals
Or damage the LEDs ??

[skirex]

Id probably leave it open as it is untill it dries out...

[TheGreenThing]

Some sh!t happened last night & its all my fault I've used a heat gun & blow heated the cooling fins & as i blew the fins I've faced the led bar down.. & started noticing the thermal paste went on the glass & accumulating the sides of the square reflector.. I really cant open the glass to wipe the paste.. Good thing the paste wasn't big

Wish i could open the glass to wipe those nasty paste

Seal the ends mate.
Sell these bars so had this problem a few times. They have a rubber seal on the end that sometimes gets pinched generally if you open them up sit in a warm dry room (linen cupboard under some stuff normally works)
then seal back up with some silicon and bobs your aunty. oh and it wont have a breather thats why it needs to get nice and dry so it doesn't come back.

Leak Problem solved guys thanks to this forum.. Even though i dont have a lux(which was my 1st choice but my fiance told me its more practical to buy a suv) the only problem i have is i cant wipe the glass inside & the reflector.. But i think im fine already.. Whats important is its water tight sealed..

[TheGreenThing]

Oh my god!! Tonight were experiencing a typhoon here in manila, philippines.. & its really disappointing!! Ive discovered that theres moist AGAIN inside my led bar.. Pls advise.. Im so piss guys!! Haaaaaaaay!!

Did you put some sealer on each end when it was appart I have the same light and it worked fine for me just cover the end of the bar before fitting the black end piece.

[TheGreenThing]

Put lots of sealant before sealing or putting back the original rubber gasket.. Then put the plate cover then screw it back
