i connect 4 led downlight 18w each to basicr4 yesterday. today it does not work any more. damage.
What specifically has happened?
dont know.
i just install basic r4 with 4 of that 18w led yesterday
today morning. it just cannot turn on. i disconnect r4 and direct conect to the light, it can turn on. i also noticed my normal wall switch damage too. it cannot be turn off.
i tested r4 and confirm it damage. no led and no current at the out point
It appears that there was a short circuit. The Sonoff Basic has an internal fuse which is a one-time trip.
replaceble fuse? and do basic r4 need to use with capacitor? previously i use capacitor for single led. i forgot to add capacitor when using 4 led
The fuse is soldered in. Replacement requires soldering. Do not try to replace with a wire!
BASIC R4 does not require a capacitor as it has a full power supply. Therefore it is also suitable for controlling e.g. heating appliances. The use of a capacitor is unnecessary.
The lamps you show in the picture are cheap so are unlikely to contain a voltage converter or any reasonable power supply stage. They can make quite a mess.
thanks. just wondering it takes one whole night for the r4 fius to burn while the leds previously, didnot burn or triped all this while🤔
I have several BASIC devices. Nothing like this has happened with any of them for many months. It is difficult to say what happened to your device. It could have been a coincidence. Fortunately it is not an expensive device. Get a new one. Check the installation thoroughly before connecting it, and ensure that the ends of the wires are properly worked (e.g. tinned).
really disappointed with this basicr4.
another one malfunction. cannot turn off from manual wall switch. really worried with another 4 basicr4 that i have but yet to install with anotge lights.
really got quality issues
Are you referring to the eWeLink Remote Control or the Magic Switch function?
