    Hey anyone knows where I can repair my aquazonic t5 lighting system??

    One of the units is faulty and isn't lighting up. It's definitely not cuz of the tube. I'm thinking it could be the starter that's broken.

    Anyone knows if there's anywhere I can go to get it repaired? And if so, how much does it cost!

    Aquazonic is well known for technical error but it is not all bad,just minor repair will do if you know how to dismantle it.
    Most of the time is the ballast but do check the connection wire to the on button. It could be that too.

    for aquazonic, can call and check NA or Qian Hu to see if they have repair service.
    normally is the ballast spoil and cannot hard to find the kind of ballast that they used.

    It should just be a simple ballast inside. You can buy them at LFS.
    4ft ballasts for 2 tubes should be $20 (http://aquamarin.com.sg/productsDeta...productid=1103)

    The connections are shown on the product itself. Quite simple wiring.

    Re: Aquazonic T5 4ft light repair

    Not sure about aquazonic but typically each ballast has the capacity to power 2 tubes. Each tube is independent.

    From your description, it sounds like one ballast is not working. Could be the ballast, wire or switch.

    Anyway, Aquazonic is one of Qian Hu's product. I don't expect it to be cheap to send it back to them for repair. But that's an option.

    Re: Aquazonic T5 4ft light repair

    My advice to you is if you are a handy man, then you can try to remove the screws from the power switch side then trace where the ballast is, then see if you can find replacement for the ballast.
    if it is those skinny long black type of ballast, most likely not possible to find in the open market.check the kind of ballast that qian hu is selling to see if they are the same.

    If you are not a handy man, then maybe sell it away and buy a new one or just bare with it and use 1 tube.

    haha i fixed my balast for the aquazonic before. quite easy, just need to buy the correct one, the length of the wire different (Because of the left and right balast).

    i went to QH to buy it and went home to fix it.

    Re: Aquazonic T5 4ft light repair

    I just unscrewed the whole fixture.. And realise there is no ballast in it... It's all wires only. My friend's dad said its electronic so there's no ballast...

    Re: Aquazonic T5 4ft light repair

    there is still ballast .. it is call electronic ballast..

    looks like most likely it is hiding behind the reflector. Just remove bit by bit the reflector and see if you find it..
