Archea 27W PC Light Help!!!

bigb8625 · Yesterday, 04:06 PM

So I have had this light for a little over a year and it has been working great. Suddenly though it just quit working. I thought it may have been the bulb, however after trying the new one, the light still wouldn't come on. Does anyone have an suggestions on how to fix this problem? I really am not wanting to have to buy a new one.

Thanks!

This will sound obvious so don't get offended: Have you tried plugging the fixture in to a different outlet?

If that doesn't work, it's possible there's a loose wire. Or the ballast has kicked the bucket.

I tried different outlets, looked at all the wires and even tried a test light on them and nothing. How difficult would it be to replace the ballast or would it be better to just buy a new light?
