lighting problem

[kyoshi]

Hey all


I got a lighting question:

I have a 6 ft light with 2, 36" bulbs One side of the strip is not lighting any suggestions?

I have 4 new bulbs, checked all of them they all work

sounds like it might be the ballast...

Is that side fully connected? Sometimes you have to rotate the bulb more around so it's nice and snug with the connectors.

Bad bulb, bad ballast, bad connection, or a corroded connector.

It's tough to troubleshoot without more info or direct access to the unit.

UNPLUG FIRST!!! Then check your connections. It almost sounds like one of the wires come out of the tombstone( FYI-that is what the plastic piece where the end of your tubes goes into is called).
