Ballast stopped working.

One of my ballast has gone bad, does any body know where I can get a replacement for a bio cube 14. Modle # IEB24-1U Part # 82002. I was trying something and I broke this one

. The light still workes if I hook it up to the other ballast so I know that its not the light. Im going to check my LFS but I dont remember seeing them their.
Thanks

Sorry nnieman. That's a tough one because it sounded like you wanted it right now. We don't know where you are. If you could have waited for a few days to get one, you could have ordered one from any number of RS's sponsors or from Drs Foster and Smith or from MarineDepot. I'm sure they all would have carried it too.

Well, do this next time;
Look and see what bulbs the ballast was running. Look for;
-Number of bulbs
-Length of bulb
-Diameter
-Watts
-Type
Then go to a place like this; Fluorescent Ballasts ( good place right there ) and find the right ballast for you. Have confidence with wiring, or don't at all. You will most likely need to rewire the fixture for the new ballast.
