Few Questions about problems w/New bulbs

[charlie]

Let us know how things turn out, OK??

[CubsFan]

Sure will. I sent him a lengthy email about what exactly had happened. I also told him that I had a thread about it on Reefland.com that I would be keeping updated and that I would like to give Hamilton a good report. I have been very pleased with my lights so far but $700 + for a lighting system and the ballast should last for at least a few years.

[CubsFan]

Well day one has passed with no response

[charlie]

What the heck!!!!!!!

[CubsFan]

I just got an email failure notice saying that the address I got for the contact is undeliverable.

[CubsFan]

I think I got it figured out. I think the last part of the email should have been technology and not lighting so I tried it and we'll see what happens.

[Reefland]

Yup I gave you the wrong address, new PM sent.

Alright here was the problem with the light some how I developed a leak in one of the capacitors and it spit oil out all over the place and was the cause of the one bulb not firing all the way up. I ordered 2 new capacitors for $28.95 a piece and then 2nd day shipping. Dave at Hamilton lighting was very and helped in guiding me to Alexandria who solved my problem. Thanks Reefland for the Contact info.

Hey alright, a solution!!!! Let us know if that works out for you!!

[CubsFan]

I know its gonna work because I took the good capacitor and hooked it to the other transformer and it fired up for me. So in another couple days everything will be alright

[CubsFan]

Well capacitors got here and I was pretty worried when I first saw them because apparently they've changed the shape? I compared stats from the 2 capacitors and they were pretty close so I hooked them up and I have working lights once again WOOHOO

Congrats, glad you got things worked out with them.
