Title: Coralife cf fixture burnt out?
Post by: irene on March 17, 2011, 07:41:13 AM
My 30" 65w cf fixture just blew after being on for about 10 minutes this morning.  I don't think it's the bulb, I have 3 and none of them work in it now.  I have no idea what's wrong or if it's fixable?  Anyone had this happen or have any ideas as to what might have gone wrong?

If all 3 bulbs don't work, it sounds like the ballast. Any of the big box hardware stores or any lighting specialty stores could set you up with a new ballast. Word of warning though: If you don't know much about electricity, take it to someone who does!
