Question about PL light

[eone]

I just bought a 55W PL light with e-ballast, now it is spoilt.
How can I tell if the bulb need replacement, or I need to throw away the whole thing because the e-ballast is spoilt?

You can unscrew the PL tube from its holder and fit in a new tube to see if it's the tube or ballast that's screwed. But if your light set isn't too bulky, you could bring it to NA Nature at Thomson/Balestier (check LFS list) for checking or ballast replacement. Chan there has the last word in aquaria lighting for many hobbyists.

Wonder if everything is ok for my plant if there is no light till Friday?

Please check the contacts of the lamps terminals as well as the eballast.

Otherwise make arrange with me for the trouble shooting.

Contact me for fruther arrangement.

Thank you
