    Mine exploded and gives off smoke.
    Luckily I am in the house....or else...??
    Got electrical shock also.
    Wasted two new PLs just to try out what's wrong, each of them exploded when I try to fit in.

    Bring to Nature, found out it's the ballast problem.
    Change out all the ballast to e-ballast, so far so good.

    Heard from C328, that the PL light from Ocean Free got alot of problems and they are not bringing them in anymore.

    I have a Ocean Free 4ft FL light fixture, just got it modified to fit 4x36 watts PL lights. It cost me $110.

    Wow.. explosions.... that's bad..... that's really bad indeed...... I'm still very puzzled why it caused an explosion if it was a ballast problem. The worst scenario for a faulty in a case of a short circuit in the ballast, the tubes just would not start at all.

    Anyway, when you say explosion, was it like sparks or glass flying around? Juz curious hor.......
    Cheers!!

    hi mariner

    for the price of a 4xPL tube light set, consider the MH instead...this is purely on the fact that the frequency and cost to replace PL to MH, the MH will have better mileage than the PL.

    Hi this is off

    Ocean free medicine for internal parasites
    (esp this) and internal bacteria infection are good.
