    Hi,
    I know there are tons of posts about this but here goes mine.
    I bought a UV 48" Super acintic bulb today, came home put it in my fixture and turned it on. It started buzzing so I turned it off and then I turned it back on. Still buzzed and before I could get it back off, the light blew and the ballast blew.
    So I guess im in the market for a new lighting system.
    I am looking for a 4-6 bulb fixture that is decent quality and around $200-$300. (if that is possible)
    any help would be appreciated

    I had this one. it was a real nice light and quiet. I did have a problew with getting a couple of the bulbs to fire off from time to time so I went with a different one. I would recommend the light because I think it was a minor issue that I was able to resolve. Loose wire. Heres the link
