hi peeps,

brought a set of 3ft Aqua Zonic T5 Light set (4tube) around a mth+ ago. But recently its being cranky.

Cant really get all four tubes to light up together need a bit of shaking and knocking to get all four to work.

Any one know how i can get it fixed ?

Their lightset comes with some form of electronic starter but its unlike those osram, phillip eballast . Once spoil its almost impossible to repair unless you have the new eballast outside the casing. Look for something in a heat shrink along the sides of the internal casing.. That could be the starter electronics. Made in you know where....
