The Nightstalker Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hi guys i have an lighting question for you all. I came home last night and the light on my little tank was flicking on and off as if it was trying to turn on. Would it be the starter or tube i would need to replace. I have no idea when i comes to lighting. Thanks in advance guys and girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elapid Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Both can have the same symptoms, remove the tube and see if it is burnt out. If the tube isn't burnt out it will be the starter. It can also be a bad earth wire too but check the above first. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
