ive had this old 2x 175w mh 110w actinic T12 for a lil over a year. i woke up this morning to find my actinics arent working. i start playn with the cords n bulbs, now i got 1 bulb almost coming on, but it glows orange/red wen it barely lights up. is it my bulbs? i doubt they would both go out at the same time. its gotta be my fixture? eitherway this suks

Usually 2 bulbs per ballast or channel on a multi ballast. If one fails both go out.

so its the bulbs? or ballast? it glows orange/red on the end of the bulb. the 1 thats not doing nething is see thru were the other1 glows.

If you have some fresh bulbs it's easy to figure out. Two new bulbs will fire up if the ballast is good.

ok so after calling every store nearby, looks like im guna bo ordering the bulbs. if the ballast is the problem, that led upgrade miggt be sooner than expected

since im getn new bulbs, wana make sure im gettin the right stuff. my ballast says 2 175w mh with a button, then it just says 110w with a button. do i need 110w bulbs? why wouldnt it say 2 110w?
