I have a Sunleaves Pioneer VIII T5. The other day as I had the light on, there was a flash, the first two lights on both edges went off with the remaining for inside light remained on. I have changed bulbs but they still don’t come on.ni am hoping you might give me an idea as to why. Thank you.

Hi James,
It might be that you accidently blew one of the ballasts, so I would suggest you change that ballast (there are tons of tutorials online on how to do it or you can hire an electrician to do it for you) and see if your bulbs come on. If not, then the problem is somewhere else.
Regards,
Ben
