Ok, I picked up a coralife 2x65 PC fixture today,
It has a bad ballast (i think, but checked everything else) It has 2 65*1 ballasts so one side works the other doesnt.
done some quick checking and a replacement is going to cost 20-30 but for a couple dollars more I could get a single ballast that would run both bulbs,
Am I Better off getter the bigger ballast?
Anyone know a good place to get one?
I might go local and pick one up, what do I look for? fluorescent 130+ watts?
As with any (most) used fixtures the bulbs need to be replaced anyway so I was looking for alittle more information on PC Lighting.
Its a 48 inch fixture that has 2 bulbs, each bulb is a twin tube around 22 inch long, Is this the longest bulb? Are the 96watt the same size?
And now the 50 Dollar Question, Is this fixture even worth putting the cost of a new ballast into or would it just be better off cutting it down into a 24inch fixture?
thanks
