How to Fix a LOR RGB Flood Light

Fixing a 10 watt RGB Flood that I purchased from Light-o-Rama. The green LED wasn't working. I ordered some spare LED modules that I was told was the same as what LOR uses and that was mostly true, and I was able to successfully fix my RGB flood.

Note that in my last 8 pack I had 2 floods that had issues and Light-O-Rama was really easy and good to work with to get them replaced. However; the third one I zapped really bad. It was a cold day, and I must have been dragging my feet across the carpet and when I touched my RGB flood I zapped it really hard. After that the green didn't work anymore. That one was my fault, but I was happy I was able to fix it for myself for $1.30 vs. paying $30 for a new flood light.

I purchased the RGB LED module from a seller on ebay.

Steps:

Remove 4 bolts to remove outer casing
Remove glass cover.
Remove rubber seal.
Remove 4 bolts to remove reflector.
Note how LED module is wired up
Remove 4 bolts holding LED module in place
Desolder 6 connectors, 3 on each side, freeing the LED module from the wires.
Put the new LED module in place and add thermal paste if needed.
Screw down new LED module.
Solder the wires back onto the LED module. For the module I bought Red and Blue were flipped.
So it was wired up, starting from the top: Red, Green, Blue
When I hooked up the new LED module I wired it, starting from the top: Blue, Green, Red.
Test the RGB flood to make sure it works. I did this by having a know good flood side by side and comparing. Making sure it did Red, Green, Blue the way it should.
Reassemble the flood light.
Test the RGB flood again to make sure it still works (do it a third time if you are seriously OCD)
