Anyone have a 400W bulb I can borrow

[spleify]

Hey all, late last night, about two hours before lights out I noticed that the main light was out in my tank. Thinking that the ballast just got to hot and shut off I unplugged it, so it could cool down. Well today I went to turn it on and nothing.

Is there anyone that has a 400W spare bulb sitting around that I could borrow to test and see if it a bulb problem or a ballast problem? I don't care how old it is, or what color temp it is, just as long as you know it works so I can test my lighting.

Thanks

Thanks Stu, I may take you up on that! I got another PM, but it seems both opportunities will be a drive. Lets see if someone closer chimes in, if not I will get in touch with one of you.

Thanks again as always guys!!

Does anyone in Aurora or Denver have a bulb by chance?

Thanks

I got a box full of them, probably about 8 or so. I want my frag back, so let's trade this weekend. I don't have squat going on tomorrow.

I have to give a HUGE shout out to Stugray(Stu) and Goslugsgo(Chris), for hooking me up with some bulbs today. Stu was generous enough to get me 2 bulbs and Chris was generous enough to pick them up for me and meet us for dinner tonight.

Thanks so very much guys.

On the flip side, its not the bulb thats bad, it is the ballast. Its a 400W PFO ballast, does anyone know anything about these or how to fix them, or does anyone have an extra 400W ballast they are looking to sell?

Thanks again guys!!
