OK, are the connections in a way we can check to see if this is in series?
Turbo Bucket's Take On RADDWC: Grow Room Build-Up
I know, this is going to be a pain. I'm sure it is still in the tent. Do you have a backup light?

K.i.s.s. ill snap a pic.
Even better
May have been a thermal deal dude. I think @Derbybud or someone had theirs on too long and they have an auto shutoff. Have you tried to run it since?

If he unplugs a board, the whole setup should go out......one board may be bad, but the system is not right.....not if it is designed to be in series.

The driver should start to adapt at 50°c TC.

Correct. If I dc one board without jumping that connection out nothing will light.
Orange wire nuts are to the driver. Each board has two wire run back to this box, driver+ to board+>board- etc..board->driver-
driver wires 2led 1 ----------2led 2 ----------2led 3 ----------2led 4 ----------2led 5-----------2

There's only 4 running right now. The other two wires are laying next to the box

Do the instructions state to wire them in series? I'm asking, because I can't find any wiring information for them.

Haha instructions. I got nothing with these. The website does say series or parallel though.

The Fantom Board series of LED circuit boards are best suited in arrays in large areas or traditional grow tents. They also make great cloning and seedling lights when ran at low wattage.
The WaVy Boards are 35.44V at 2100ma, making them easy to wire in series with (or replace) any 36V COB. The WaVy Boards may be wired in parallel with other WaVy boards, but not with anything else or you will get thermal runaway.
The Wago Solderless connectors work best with 18 or 20 gauge wire, we use a pair of needlenose pliers to help push the wire into the connectors.

Oh.....that isn't fun....it's "let figure out how to wire these" game.
Notice the way that is written (series with other) parallel with another wavy.
Maybe parallel may be the ticket, but man is that scary......
If it were me, I'd try parallel. But I would keep a close watch on it with a thermal gun for the first hour.
