Hello,
I’m a senior at 2630 and am in charge of our new limelight 3, It has worked many times before and suddenly after changing a battery to one with 12.4V I turned it on and the limelight caught smoke. I immediately turned off the robot, and the limelight was the only thing that caught on fire. Has this happened to anyone before/does anyone know how or why this happened?
My guess is that there was a short somehow. Check the limelight’s wiring, take pictures, and reach out to limelight support. They’re very helpful

Sorry though, I’ve got nothing without more info. iirc limelight has reverse current protection.

This happened to us at our offseason competition in 2021 with a limelight 2. I believe it was due to the wires being stripped to far and making contact with each other. @Link2815 may remember the specifics. Does the limelight still work?
