T5 Light Fixture Help!

Recommended Posts

I have an 8 bulb T5 fixture that died two plus years ago.  I don't remember how or why.  So I replaced it with a Current LED which is not great, doesn't obviously put out the light the T5s did.  The fan does not go on and I do not see the starters fire.

 

Are there any electrical wizards on here who might be able to help me diagnose and rewire, or should I call an electrician?

 

An 8 bulb fixture replacement is out of budget.

 

I'm in Frederick MD.

 

Thanks,

 

Eric

If the fan doesn't come on either, it makes me wonder if power is even getting past the on/off switch, or if there's a blown fuse somewhere. Do you have a voltmeter handy and do you know how to use it? Does the unit have a built-in timer that might have failed?

I agree with Tom, sounds like a power supply issue. An eight bulb fixture would not have a single ballast so if all the lights are out and the fans then I'd check for a fuse or faulty switch.

can you be more specific on model? I have an ATI 8 bulb unit and have replaced the ballast once, it wasnt very hard and they cost around $25 bucks.
