Something wrong with my tek lite?

So this morning only 1 of my 4 white bulbs is firing, the other 3 are all dead and they only have about 2 months use on them also one of my blues looks way darker than the other 3, like a deep purple color

 

You sure the bulbs are screwed in tight and making contact Is this a retro?

 

it's not a retro and they were all working yesterday light hasnt been touched and T5's dont screw in

 

2 of the 3 whites that werent on just fired on but they are really dim not putting out any light at all really

 

What do the bulbs look like? You use UVL right? Do the bulbs look gasy in the bulb itself, like, for lack of a better term, there is a fluid in there? Call SLS, or where you bought the fixture, they DO have a warranty on Tek lights, I want to say its two years. It could either be bulbs or ballast, bulbs is unlikely as the odds that its more than one are slim.

How old is the fixture and bulbs?

 

less than 3 months I'll give Roger a call later gotta go get ready for a MRI on my shoulder

 

I meant screw in the endcap tight, and make sure the bulbs are making contacts inside. I have the Tek T5s so I should know they don't screw in . I have to check on mine but I think if one bulb is not working then the other one wont turn on.

If one bulb on a ballast won't fire the other will not also. Best is to find two bulbs which fire up and switch them out with the other ones,if both light ballast is good and one bulb is bad. Just keep playing around until you find the bad bulb. My Tek light would not fire four bulbs right out of the box. was ready to send back for a refund but called them and they walked me through how the bulbs/ballast were wired. TYhis way I found two good bulbs and swapped them aroun until I found the two bad ones.

Thanks I'll try that out when I can get a hand getting it off the tank, damn torn rotator cuff makes it hard to do anything

 

I think that is only the retro kit with the screw on end caps, mine just sit in like a normal fluorescent bulb
