came home from work. turned my lights on. walked my dog. opened the door. what the hell! the entire apartment stank like piss, literally. I thought my other dog flooded the apartment with piss. . . . . looked over to my cube and the actinic was the only ones that on and flickering. I turned everything off and found the one of the prong for the connection between the ballast and the hood is fried up. I thought i can run the second ballast to the 120,000k bulb for the night, but that thing doesnt work neither. My question is: i thought the two lights are completely separate systems, how on earth did they both failed the same time? all other electricals worked normal, so i dont think its the outlet itself over powering the ballast.(fused box didnt go off neither). this make me think twice about leaving my lights on when i am going out. . . . . .
i am thinking of either putting an legged light fixture over the small cube or converting to LED. i am leaning towards LED due to lower amount of electricity it uses, heat, and longitivity of the bulbs. however, they are so pricey. . . . . . . what do u guys think i should do?
