BioCube Light Question

[lilmatty5dimes]

Questions for the electrician. How would I be able to check my lights for the biocube? I've got new ballasts and the lights don't work. What other things should i check for: endcaps, switch on top, wiring? Anything else? Thanks for the advice.

Haha, I just had this problem.

You can grab new bulbs and see if it's the bulb. If the bulbs work, problem solved. If not...then it's probably a short in the wiring, or it's the actual fixtures.

I know this is a stupid comment, but make sure the switch on the top is turned on.

(I couldn't figure out what the problem was and opted to gut my cube and convert it to LED. If you want any of the guts from my cube I'm more than happy to part with them.)

Not the bulb I can take it out and put it in the other slot an it works just fine. Oh yea the fan works but not the bulb.

One of the switches went out on my BC so I bypassed it and put it on a mechanical timer. The switch sounded real rough so I'm assuming it got salt in in it some how.
