A good chiller is controlled (on/off) by a thermostat. It will "on" when the temperature of the water passing through it is 1ºC higher than set temperature. So you can check by monitoring your tank temperature.

Scenario:

If you set your chiller at 28ºC, your chiller kicks in when your tank is, say 27ºC... then something wrong with it already. Regardless if it is coincidence or not... a good thermostat = good chiller.

That's my 2 cents... hope it helps.

So far, I have not heard of a chiller with light sensor... so obviously something extremely wrong with your chiller. Can you bring the matter to the seller?
