After a bit of googling I wasn't able to find anyone sharing my issue. My heater's light flickers in a strange way. I'm not sure if it's a calibration issue or what, but the heater is still functioning as far as I can tell. Here is a link to a short vid which somewhat shows the issue in a crappy fashion https://vid.me/Lx0U, but might be enough to help you guys help me. Thanks.
 
I don't have any solutions for you, the best option is contact Eheim directly for best result and safety issue.
 
if it working I would not worry about it, but as a rule of thumb, like filters redundancy is a good thing. I would get another heater going.
 
Eheim's customer service is pretty good. I would email them about the issue at hand, they will likely send you a replacement in a timely manner..
 
I went ahead and shot them an email. I have a couple Jager 250s on hand, I am a bit reluctant to use them because they are a bit oversized on a 40b, but realistically they probably wouldn't cause a problem without a malfunction.
 
Never had this issue with light in heater.
Contact eheim or just buy new jager.
:)
 
I would replace it asap... you don't want to regret if something goes wrong. btw.. what kind of platinums were you looking for Richard?
 
I've put a new heater in and contacted Eheim, but multiple attempts led to me getting errors, so I tried again today. I'm not really looking for any plats lol, I was just joking around because they are out of my price range atm.
