but what could have caused this?

wire melt?

connection came lose?

the lights are hanging over my tank now so there is nothing much i can do...

unless i take it down and tear it apart...

:cry:

of course you need to take it apart to troubleshoot it, let me know if you need help. ;)

Ryan,

Its not that bad, but a man's gotta do what man's gotta do.

Barracuda is whom you would refer to as an Electrical Guru (as opposed to likes of me who is an Electrical Goondu :P ).

I'll take up his offer if I were you. It should help prevent some rude shocks. There's no screwing with a posssible 150w jolt.

it started working on 7th feb i think...

then i just came home and its not working again...

anyone experienced this problem before?

think there is something in the bulb that is loose...

some metal in bits moving around when i shake it...

if i'm not wrong there is also some liquid inside... :o
