Lighting Unit Died - Help (Sealed Unit)

[Deleted member 107737]

Hi All,
 
Been watching tv and went to my room. Lighting unit has died. Tried everything.
 
 
Its aqua one lighting unit 780mm long. Its from a 150L tank which also acts as part of the lid.
 
 
Ive checked the fuse, wiring everything got a spare lamp so changed that still nothing.
 
I bet the ballast inside has died.
 
Where can i get replacememnt quick my live plants are going to die

 
Any help appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
dave

Put your tank into darkness for now, No light means they wont die off so quickly.
 
Anyhow, I'd check your connections again. Sometimes the sides get loose and bend out of place or something stupid.
 
If not ebay is the best bet for a new unit.
