Just purchased an Aquaticlife T5 12 bulb fixture which is tripping the GFI when both the Blues and Whites are turned on at the same time.
It is the only thing plugged into the dedicated 15-amp outlet. I encounter the same problem on two other dedicated 15-amp outlets, which are protected by GFI with no other load. All three GFI are new.
As a test, I ran a 5-horse vacuum and heat gun on all three of the circuits without tripping the GFI.
Could the light be bad or is there something else I should be looking into?
The light functions properly if plugged into a standard 15-amp outlet.
