light blow out

I turned on my daytimes lights last night and they flickerd on and turned off. now they wolnt come on at all.

i have the 36 Inch 4x39 Watt AquaticLife T5 HO Light Fixture w/ 4 Lunar LEDs

• (2) 36" T5 HO 39W 420/460 Lamps
• (2) 36" T5 HO 39W 700+ Lamps
• (4) 1W Lunar LED`s

im guessing its prob a ballist iv only had them sense march.

anybody els had this problem or know what to do i dont think both bulbs could have blowin out at the same time?

 

not sure.. but this is not good news on the aquaticlife t5 series.. I know a lot of people who are interested in them.. including myself

 

Take the bulbs to the LFS and have them tested in one of their fixtures. You may want to even take the fixture in.

 

Why not just switch them to the spots you actinics are in and see if they light there?
It's easy to toast a bulb if moister gets into the socket

I am going to try switching the bulbs around tonight when I get home. I really like this light set up and I dont think i have a moisture problem. Specialy when all the other light work. Does anybody know if you can get the ballist from the hardware store or are they different from regular lighting?

 

If you have one bad bulb then they will do that. I have a bad bulb in mine and they flicker, I just plug it in a few times and it will come on. I just havent gotten a bulb yet. but if you got a bad bulb, then neither bulb will come on.

 

Thanks i didnt think of that.Im gunna look into that but it doesnt flicker like a regular light it doesnt come on at all. it just flickerd for a second then went out.

 

So i got home from work yesterday and all the lights work fine???????
