Problem with sunpod light

[eye.guy]

Anyone else own a 48" Sunpod (Current) 2x 150 MH light? My light sometimes doesn't turn on both lights. Just the one side lights. I turn off, wait sometimes it happens 2 or three times before both lights come on.. I emailed Current the manufacturer have not heard back yet. Not sure if LFS will help, they are only open on weekends so I need to wait to hear from them. My fear is when I do get corals and light is on a timer they may suffer if only one of the 2 lights work. Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.

to see if it is bulb or ballest.

I had that same problem. Mine was a 36" though. Turned out to be a defect in the ballast or something. I returned it and theLFS had no problem giving me another one.

Though this is a couple of weeks old, I am having the same problem. I bought mine new and the problem started happening a day after I got it. Current says its one of the bulbs so they sent me out one 2 weeks ago, still havent received. I emailed them last week saying I never got the bulb, but they havent replied Also they both will eventually turn on.
