 Topic: HELP!!! Need a square pin 65w PC bulb ASAP!!
Posted: December 15 2010 at 9:56pm |
|
After cleaning the salt out of the
CURRENT 65w PC fixture I own, the bulb wouldn't fire. It's really old, and I
should have had back-up bulbs before messing with it. Now my 20 gal tank has NO LIGHTS. YIKES!!
I need to find a 65w square pin PC bulb -- even USED would be
fine -- but ideally I'd like to get a new setup with more power. Been using two separate 65w fixtures, but now I have nothing.
Can anyone out there help me? Does anyone have a spare square pin 65w bulb I can buy from them, or borrow until I get something else? Anyone have a PC light setup that'll fit my 20 gal tank? I don't want my tank to die, and I'm leaving town next week. I'm not ready for MH or T-5's.
I'm in Riverton, south end of SL county. PLEASE CALL ME or PM if you've got anything I can use. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, EVERYONE!!

Nope. Not sure. I just know that I took the acrylic cover off and wiped out the salt residue from that and the reflector, put it back on, and then it wouldn't turn on. Thought that if I had a loaner bulb to try in there, I could see if it was the ballast or the bulb that was no good. I lean towards the bulb, as it hasn't been replaced in 2 years or more. It was working when I turned it off to clean it. Not a problem going on or off before this.
It does a little -- and I mean little -- blue flare-up near the pin end of the bulb when I tried to switch it on after letting it sit for a bit, but then it stopped doing even that after a few tries.
Any ideas folks?

I have a fixture you can have. It has 4 flat pin 65w bulbs and the ballast. Everything works but it is about time to change the bulbs. Let me know if you are interested. I can leave it outside for you to pick up anytime.
