some background info.. i connect the plug to a digital timer which can control 3 outlets.. after i discovered which plug (the 1 controlling 4 tubes) was causing the problem.. i took it out and place the other plug (controlling 2 tubes) into the same outlet and it works fine.. so i guess the digital timer is working fine.. wat could have happened?

i kanna before becuase water was splashed into the set. Change to new tubes and it work....seems that i was lucky enugh that it did not damage my light set but only the end-tubes...

you might want to test it out by swapping the 2 tube with old used tubes that were working and see if it is the tube causing the trips....

check the end of the tubes (pin) if there are water? if the tubes are ok, than it maybe exposed wires that is in contact with the fixture.
