SRC Member tineng Posted March 7, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted March 7, 2008 i kanna before becuase water was splashed into the set. Change to new tubes and it work....seems that i was lucky enugh that it did not damage my light set but only the end-tubes... you might want to test it out by swapping the 2 tube with old used tubes that were working and see if it is the tube causing the trips....

Sponsor dr evil Posted March 8, 2008 Sponsor Share Posted March 8, 2008 erm.. will try to change the tube.. hopefully everything will work out.. but the bulb is the cause of the short circuit? burned? check the end of the tubes (pin) if there are water? if the tubes are ok, than it maybe exposed wires that is in contact with the fixture.
