Plenty of places sell the replacement t5 ends online. Bulkreefsupply aquariumspecialty

They are relatively cheap. Install them to where the bulb prongs are seated snuggly in the endcaps you do not want any gaps to cause any arcs.

Good luck. I installed a smoke detector above my tank incase I'm home Im alerted.

I think I have a pair in my "spares" box. Would have to go look. For T5?

these are the cheapest waterproof end caps I have found and work great

Thanks for going thru the trouble, but I need them to fit power compacts, and still have not been able to find them anywhere
