After some back and fourth with ATI, it was discovered that the light was out of warranty (1 year) and if have to pay for the parts. Sucks because the actual usage of the light was less than a year, but they go by purchase date.
They did offer a discount, so it all came out to $175. Im hoping the new driver fixes things. Im hoping it comes in by Monday atleast.

Let there be light!
Driver came in today and straight on the tank it went. All previous programming was wiped, but happy its back up and just needs tuning.
With the kessils alone I was seeing a peak average par of around 200 at 100% intensity. Since it sat in that light for nearly a week, I'm planning on turning up the Straton at 50% of the target intensity of 60% for a week, giving it an average of ~400. Ill crank it up next weekend depending on how things react.
With the light acclimation, I'm going to take the opportunity to use some bluer presets. The kessils produced some amazing color on some pieces on their own and id like to ride that wave and see how things pan out.
Throughout the whole ordeal, I had 1 frag rtn but did have alot of algae growth die off. I kept a close eye on alk and had a significant decrease in utilization in the past week, so I'll have to observe again and ramp up accordingly.
Huge shout out to @MichaelB , @SupraSaltyReefer , and @Royce023 for offering up lights incase the driver solution didn't work. I appreciate yall!
