T5's BACK ON BABY!

Hey guys, well as i got my sump working, my daylights in my T5 stopped. Today i took it apart, and then used my Sith powers of manipulation and it somehow started working again. I put a bulb in the daylight locked it into place and the bulb freaked out and started acting funky for a second or two before it went dark. Then they were all back to normal. I don't feel comfertable enough to put in my new bulbs just incase the ballast is frying them, but the company has been really great and are sending me out replacemnt bulbs and we are monitering the situation. This will make my frogspawn happy and maybe ill go pick up that Blue Voodoo!

 

Congrats on getting everything working.

 

loose connections at endcaps?

 

i thik it had to be. I didnt really do anything but at least when i was done i didnt have extra parts

 

Ive had the same probly last week. changed out ballast a few times with replacements I had on hand.. nothing, put the old one back in, and played with the endcap flickered and went back on.. hope it holds up, Its a pita to get to my fixtures..

 

lol night, mine are on top with no canopy so i cant complain. my pumpkin patch zoas are ALMOST open and my red hornet colony (does not have alternating skirts so do call me out lol) are opening, my tri color is almost all the way out.... Its nice to have lights
