Yaffee stealth plate bulb not working
« on: August 10, 2014, 10:21:54 AM »
I just noticed one of the 2 leds on my yaffee stealth isn't working. I have had it about 18 months. Anyone had this problem and how did you fix it?

Jesse give this site a try:

That's where I found the blue LED bulbs for all my instruments. I don't know what type of LED is in the Yaffe frame but superbright might have what you need. Check the "component LED" page since yours are probably some variation of a surface mount bulb.

OK thank you.  Maybe I can find 2 red leds to replace the white!

Your welcome. Hope you find the ones you need. From what I'm reading here on other threads getting customer service from Yaffe can be a challenge....

Customer service is non existent. When I called all they could tell me is that it was made in China! I wanted to add a few more lights as the existing ones were not bright enough. I Bought a bunch of different strip and single bulbs from Superbright but none of them really worked without grinding a bigger recess to fit them in. I even tried a strip that is flexible but it was too thick and stuck out past the edge.  I couldn't find anything to fit so it is sitting on my work bench with $40.00 worth of extra lighting. At least I didn't pay another $100.00 to have it painted to match. Good luck and let us know what you figure out.

OK, after looking at the Stealth plate mount (online because I don't have one) it looks like maybe these could be made to work in that tiny recess they put the LED's in:

http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/side-emitting/side-emitting-led-weatherproof-flexible-light-strip--swfls-series/1542/


Of course this keeps up I may just order one so I can develop a repair for the thing  - everyone needs at least one project in the garage/shop  :huepfenlol2:

Jeez don't buy one, I been thinking of swapping back to my oem bracket and if I do I will send you mine to experiment with. The problem is I had to cut my plate to fit so I need to get a new plate before I swap.

I'm willing to give it a try. the hardest part looks to be finding a slim enough side emitting LED that's waterproof - but I'm thinking it can be done.

I'm not going to call Yaffee. Don't see the point it's almost 2 years old. Just gonna pull it off and see what I can do with it. I'm really surprised it failed already though LED's usually last and eternity!

Well I emailed Yaffee and they said they switched to a new LED strip instead of the 2 separate bulbs. Offered no assistance as to how to fix or even a discount on the new style.
