OT- power problem?

Ask the manufacturer what the 'norm' is for your power supply? While LED's my be on, as long as the units cooling fan is off, so should your power supply.

If you pull the AC plug, the lights should fade as the capacitors drain.

Consider it a safety feature; if the light is on, you don't want to poke your fingers in.

ok. it appears to be a flow of power. The light comes on and the fan blows, but it slows down until the fan is doing single, then half revolutions. Then the fan blades sort of jerk slightly because there's not enough power to move it around. Then it stops.

I've been thinking possibly it was glowing when I went to turn it on because someone had just turned it off and it was still dying down, although I don't recall the air blowing.

I sort of thought perhaps it was something like it drawing slight power as it did final maintenance stuff, so I guess the idea that the capacitors are draining makes sense. I've just never noticed it before, but I suppose it's because I pay more attantion after I had to completely blow dust out of everything including the power supply.

That's just momentum and then bouncing between the magnets

There are caps in there used to convert the power and stabilize the output. If they don't get discharged safely by the LED, they could shock you.

It doesn't seem to be something to worry about, but to be clear I mean it stops completely. End of momentum. Then it starts again for 5-10 seconds. anyway, thanks.
