Question
Whswede 3
I have a FGD-212 controlling a LED-strip via a hide-a-lite led-driver. Lately it has started to act up.
Two scenarios and lately almost always the first one only:
1. When turned on for the default of 1% power it lights up fine but after a few seconds it starts to dim up to 99% and and then shuts down due to over current.
2. After a few hours burning the strip starts to flicker, blinking erratic for minutes and then turns of due to over current
The strip is two 5 meter 12 volt Amazon-strip from Subosi. Divided into two 3 meter long sections, totalling 6 meters and 48 watts at 100% power.

The LED-driver is a Hide-a-Lite SLD75-12VL-E

As I have no other driver, strip or dimmer to try with at this point I am curios if someone knows the most likely source of the problem? Driver, strip or Dimmer2 ?
The FGD-212 is reset and I have run start up calibration successfully several times. I have tried a lot of different settings on parameters I think could affect performance.
I am running HC3 latest firmware (not beta). Strip is super bright and therefore 1% power is sufficient for the effect lightning I use it for.
Edit: Looks I have updated the HC3 to 5.141.59 (beta) unknowingly but issue has been around for several weeks now...
Regard
