@True Foley There is a THERMISTOR attached directly to the LED chip located within the cooling fins.

The temperature of the chip changes the resistance of this thermistor resulting in a temperature reading for the fixture.

When this thermistor starts to fail, it fails in the direction of "overheating" which causes the fixture to fade off for safety. this thermistor is not easily replaced in my circumstances. its tiny and very close to other critical and delicate components of the LED chip.

I traced this sensor wire back to the PCB, and bridged the connector with a little resistor I found to work with basic trial and error technique. watching the temperature reading displayed on the fixtures display.

This essentially resulted in a totally fixed/static temperature reading that was equal to a "medium" fan speed.

My fixtures do NOT get hot as they are in a well air conditioned environment, despite operating at full for 8-10hrs every day.

worked for me, been almost two years since. definitely not a "standard" repair but the choice was basically already made due to the fact that a replacement LED Module is something like 3grand to replace.
