<p>First check that the light connections are tight and the proper buttons on the remote control are activated. See the appropriate Light Issues Help Article for your Aquafire Model.</p><p>If they are still not turning on, the most likely answer is they have shorted out and need to be replaced. LED lights in a wet environment will cut the lifespan and therefore do need to be replaced periodically, which is why we consider them a wear item. We sell replacement LED lights directly through our website: <a href="https://www.aquafire.com/collections/replacement-parts" id="isPasted">https://www.aquafire.com/collections/replacement-parts</a></p><p id="isPasted">If you feel the lights have shorted prematurely, the top 3 causes of lights not functioning properly are:</p><ul><li>Excess mist falling back onto the light connection. The most common causes of this are:<ul><li>Strong air currents in the room that push the vapor onto the lighting connections</li><li><a href="https://aquafire.gorgias.help/en-US/flame-issues---downdrafting-677269" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Down-drafting</a> - which is when the vapor is pulled down into the interior of the Aquafire when the HVAC turns on. It is caused by openings within the walls behind/underneath the Aquafire enclosure</li></ul></li><li>Scaling accumulating on the light connection</li><li>Any kind of water leaking onto the light connection due to improper manual filling or other customer interaction.</li></ul><p>Once the lights have shorted, it is hard to bring them back to life. However, you can prevent the excess vapor and scaling with:</p><ul><li>Regular cleaning</li><li>A water softener, such as the <a href="https://www.aquafire.com/products/vapor-pure-filter-softener-system?selling_plan=692756185408&amp;variant=49117901390144" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vapor Pure&#xA0;</a>&#xA0;</li><li>Redirecting any strong air currents in the room so vapor is not being pushed back onto the lights.</li><li>Insulating or installing a barrier in the open wall space underneath and behind your Aquafire enclosure.</li><li>Refrain from operating the Aquafires 24/7. Constant operation will cause excess vapor to settle on the lighting connections.&#xA0;</li><li>Set the flame settings (height and speed) to a lower setting</li><li><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/PG09N6gmbp74j5gK/hc/JWjXVxG44y6DvMqm/2025050217-b32a944f-b000-4d18-b87c-6f2a47be7b74-flame%20settings%20awa2.png" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></li><li><a href="https://aquafire.gorgias.help/en-US/adjusting-the-aquafire-flame-483763" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Adjust the flame for your environment</a></li></ul>

My Lights Won't Turn On

Please review this short video before replacing a light strip. Each light strip comes with 10 small screws. You will only need to replace 2-3 screws after a replacement. The excess screws were there to secure the light strip during transit.
