RE: Aquatic Plants Digest V2 #1123
I have a 4ft shop light with two t12's iinside. Yesterday when I was doing
a
water change (had to lift up the shop light) my light started to flicker on
and off. It kept doing this no matter what sort of adjustment I would do.
Both
lights did it simultaniuosly. No watter came in contact with the light or
cord! I tried taking bulbs out and putting them back, turning off and on,
and
banging on it (that used to work for the Fonz). It finally stopped
flickering
after I banged a couple of times on it. My lights are on a timer and when I
went down to check on the lights the next day, they were out. Did my
ballast
burn out? I whacked it pretty gently, but do you think I broke it? If any
one
has any advice about wheter I should by a new one or not let me know.

Any loose connection or old tubes can contribute to the problem.. I find
that the sockets get corroded often (especially in 'shop' fixtures) and if
the bulb is turned or nudged it can cause a problem restarting. If you c
an't find a connection problem you might want to replace the tubes. <- I
like to keep a spare set around for this purpose which I then use as
replacements of expired tubes. And if that doesn't work then the ballast
may be to blame.
Hope this helps :)
