Admit it, it's really a Barney one innit?

I used to have a Barney one, lovely light that. Unfortunately it reminded me too much of Willie Mason so i got rid.

They only use 3W of power and are much brighter then my 50W Halogen that I replaced. Good for 50,000 hours according to the manufacturers.

Oh no, didn't get LED one's, tried them and sent them back. These are 11w conventional energy lamps, 60w equivalent, they're brilliant.

Double striplight.
Problem being, it 'was' a sealed unit - so had to cut into it.
4 days after re-sealing the unit, I'm now gonna' be cutting into it again, to ascertain the problem.
Pain in the frepside.

Is it a 5ft, 58w twin T8? Could you supply a picture of similar? Reason being, I've got an Alladin's cave down't garden and have several of the best 'sealed' fittings on the market. Is it aesthetically pleasing?

36w / twin t8 /90cm ish - aquarium light.
My hunch is that the end caps have had it and a water issue has developed.

I've none of them.

So you've changed the ballast, is it an electronic ballast? If not, perhaps change the starter too and try new lamps, then it's pretty much a new fitting...

If the end caps are frepped, you can buy those in electrical wholesalers, won't be exact but probably find some that you can make fit.

Never bought an aquarium light, they expensive?

Damn
T8 lights, no - can pick up these for about a tenner a piece. The light unit, yes - £80>£100 (T5/T8)
Replacement end caps are around £5-£10. Was hoping not to do this, but ...

Can you post a photo of the inside (gear tray) and of the end caps? I've a tub full of lamp parts.
