:help:I have a Hamilton 3 - 175 watt MH Mogul base with 2 - 140 watt VHO light fixture which I bought used. The unit is a few years old, (not sure how old could be 6yrs.) yesterday my actinics did not light. Today I took the fixture down found that one of the caps is sinched, and the bulb has a broken spoke. I have no idea what damaged what. Did the bulb cause the damage to the cap, or did the cap damage the bulb? Either way I need to fix this.
Now is it worth it to fix, or should I just purchase a whole nother fixture?
If I keep the fixture should I change over from T12 to T5?
Ballast is IceCap 660. Can I run T5 with that ballast?
Do I just get a new harnest & end caps to fit T5 bulbs?
Finally, how easy is this going to be? Lets remember I have a few burned out brain cells.:biglaugh:
