I'd email Hank. I doubt all the emitters would fail in the same instant, so this sounds like the driver board or some of its wiring has failed.

This definitely sounds like a bad driver, not a failure of the emitters. I don't think there's a warranty as such on these, but I bet Hank will send you a new driver if you can solder.
3 month no charge repair, then repair at cost up to 12 months, per this:

I have not personally swapped a driver board in these lights, but multiple people have told me it's a big pain. It's one reason I only buy lights with flashing pads, rather than lights that you have to take apart to reflash, if they run Anduril.
I pulled a driver in a first-generation D4. It wasn't too bad. The new ones would be more work because they have aux LEDs.
