Call whoever you bought them from. Hopefully they'll have good customer service and will send you a replacement ASAP. Unfortunately, problems like this with new lights are really common.

Re: I Have Made My Decision

Call customer service,either from where you bought it from or the company that made it.It looks like you went with the Tek fixture.

Sometimes its just a simple thing as the end caps are just ever so slightly to far apart.Take the end and squeeze them in a bit.Since its only one bulb,its most likely not the ballast but what I mentioned or a lose wire.

Re: I Have Made My Decision

i talked to sunlight supply and they said they would send me out the RMA and try to get it back to me within 24 - 48 hrs of getting the light. my question is how long can my SPS and LPS go without light? or should i put my PC back on just until the fixture gets back?

They will do fine without lights for awhile.At least a week I'm sure.Still,it wouldn't be a bad idea to put the PC back on until the new one arrives.
