Questions & Answers
They're becoming increasingly difficult to come by, but they're a classic. I needed a school magnetic ballast for my aquarium light, which uses a fluorescent tube bulb.
No, there isn't a plug on the end of this product. You must unplug the old ballast and plug in the new one. It only takes a few minutes and a couple of wire nuts to complete.
It came with everything you need to get started. I had a 30-gallon tank in my garage. I had a medium-sized fish tank lamp that needed a new ballast, which I was able to replace with just a screwdriver, and the light now works perfectly. In the image, the wires have been folded behind it.
The wiring is included. In my case, it was a perfect match for the ballast in an under-floor heating system. light in the cabinet

After a 5-minute search, I discovered that the exact replacement ballast for my fish aquarium lamp was available for HALF the price of a new lamp. Rather than purchasing a new lamp, I decided to purchase two replacement ballasts. After they arrived, I spent ten minutes replacing the broken one, and my lamp now functions as it should. br>br>It's wonderful that I was able to locate the correct component so quickly. It is in perfect working order.
I had to wire the existing bulb sockets to this new ballast, which was similar to the bad one I replaced; I'm also concerned that the original ballast only lasted 4 years, when I've seen ballasts last 20 years. Those, of course, were most likely not manufactured in China.
This is what I ordered for my aquarium at home. It was dead when it arrived. arrival (which I double-checked with a multi-point check) meter, I discovered a closed circuit between the positive and negative power lines on one of the red leads. All of the blue and red wires should be open circuits (easy to test with a multimeter and a google search). br>br>I received a quick replacement (which was a good thing), but the second one had the same defect. br>br>I'd have tried a third, but the only option was a refund rather than a replacement, so I'll get one from someone else (as my aquarium still needs its light).
My aquarium light that came with the aquarium had stopped working. I didn't want to switch to a new style because it's such a perfect fit for the hood. So, this is what I got. With some wire nuts, it took about five minutes (re-watch the video). It was back in action with the help of some zip ties (to tidy up the wire bundles) and some OEM parts.
I was able to replace it in under 5 minutes. Saved a lot of money and avoided having to replace the entire fixture, which would have resulted in a patch on the wall.
This was purchased to replace the old 18" light that had been removed from our fish aquarium, and it was a perfect match. We saved around $50 compared to purchasing a new hood with light assembly.
as a substitute for an aquarium hood light I bought an aquarium hood light, and the ballast died after only a year or two of use. This was an exact replacement ballast that restored the hood light's functionality; it arrived quickly and was simple to install - Anyone looking to replace the cheap ballast that comes with most aquarium lights should consider this ballast.
This item was a perfect match for my aquarium's model number. It was simple to put together, but the bulb burned out after only 30 minutes of use. It emitted a foul odor, caused damage to my hood (burn marks on the inner plastic), and blew out my brand-new light bulb. br>As a result, I'll need to buy a new ballast, bulb, and possibly a new hood:.
