Help!

You can see by my sig what lighting I have...it's only maybe amonth or so old. Anyways, I haven't set the timers yet, (I do it manually), and when I went to turn on the daylight, they just flickered and wouldnt come on. I took all the bulbs out and fiddled with them. I don't know if it's the bulb or the ballyst but once I took the one daylight bulb out that did NOT flicker, the other one lit up...actinics both work fine.

 

Are the ends of the bulbs discolored as in real dark? It kind of sounds like a bulb issue. One way to find out is to swap one of the good bulbs out with the one that will not light, and if it lights up definitely a bad bulb.

 

Uh duh! Testing that now...thx!

 

Bad bulb is all...now to attempt to find a replacement locally...that should be fun. Thx again P!

 

Justin, CF has the bulbs.

 

Thx Schmekel but already went to ABC and got one...and a duncan...and some red zoas! Should have gone to CF and stopped by your place to make good. Why don't you drive your non-workin butt to Bloomfield and hook it up! You can chk out the C-max while out here.
