T5 light

I gave a t5 light with 8 bulbs. Only one bulb went out. Tried 3 new bulbs and still won't work. Any ideas? Usually when one goes another does to.

check the connections inside of the unit. These little plastic clips are shitty, wiggle the other bulbs with a new one installed, check the new bulb in a new socket first.

Like @chemphlegm says those little plastic connectors are junk. Mine can actually turn and the bulb pins don't make the connection.

I have to take a tiny screwdriver and turn them back in place if I don't pay attention. They can rotate with the bulb when removed.

Unplug the light before sticking any tools in there. I shouldn't have to say that...:roll: but seeing some of the questions that gets asked around here I figured I should.... maybe I shouldn't?

Thank you. I should have said that before suggesting the screwdriver.

Unplugging the lamp should be done before even changing the bulb.

do you have a multimeter? see if there is any voltage on the pins since it seems like the bulb is not the problem.

What watt is the light? I haven't seen a grow with t5 lights. What's your setup like can I maybe get a pic or 2?
