light troubles

[deone]

I did some shifting today, and accidentally bump my aquarium light, it was a light bump and the lights went off. Flourucent tube spoil or the whole thing spoil?

Most probably a wire went loose somewhere. You should do a visual check for any visible damage from the bump. If the fluorescent tube has dark ends (like black to brown at either end within the glass itself, then it probably blew out.

hmm ok, so a burnt fluorescent tube has burnt edges?

Basically within the tube you will see some blackening, as if it was burnt.
