T5 ho lighting problem

[zgenius]

I just got a current extreme 1123 8 x 54w system, and it was working fine for about 2 days, untill I removed it to do some cleaning and when I turned it back on 2 of the lights are just blinking on and off lights 2 and 4.

Not sure if is the ballast but I opened it up and it looks like they are not on the same ballast and the other lights sharing the same ballast are working fine.

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I would try and twist the bulbs to make sure that they are connected good into the socket. If not I would contact the people that you got it from and they can probably help you trouble shot the problem

Sounds like you have a bad connection on those bulbs. Take the bulbs out and reinstall them and try again.

+1 on the above.

I also had a Nova come in that had a bad bulb (a 10,000K tube). If you have any extra T5HO tube around, swap them out and see if that fixes anything IF you don't fix it with the first suggestion.

Thanks for all the suggestions but i did all the basic trouble shooting its not the bulbs and I dont think its the ballast. I think it may be the connectors or a wiring issue but how can i check the connectors?


Thanks againg for any help
