I just bought a Hagen Glo T5 HO Linear Fluorescent lighting system and I can't seem to get it to stay on. It turns on and has light come out for a few seconds, and then turns off. What's wrong? Does anyone have previous experiences that could help me?
 
Had something similar happen with regular bulbs when they weren't properly seated. Have you checked that they are in properly?

O
 
I tried adjusting the light, it gave me some hope when the light stayed on for about three seconds and then it turned off.
I am going to keep trying. Anyone else have any ideas?
 
Turns out it was a broken bulb. I got new ones and it turned out to work just fine. I called Hagen and they refunded the money since it was a brand new bulb that was defective.
 
yeah same thing happened to me when i tried running just one bulb instead of two. stupidest fixture ever, i would never pay for one. good thing i got it free in a raffle :D
