title says it all. Im off work today and need to get my lights changed over to my tank. I guess I may have burned a fuse up last night .Any where local to get one?It looks pretty basic.

there shouldn't be a 250v fuse for the icecap...

it should be somewhere around 4-7amps... (any auto parts store should have one)

270V and 7amps
Just bought a bag at RadioShack

The fuse will have both a voltage (250v) and a current (4-7amps) rating.

Sweet im leaving now. I wired something wrong last night and burnded up a fuse. Just got 4 bulbs installed and checked good. now 4 more to go.

I installed new fuse and it keeps poping. I guess I messed the ballast up.I can put this ballast on my other 4 bulbs that wok and it keeps poping fuses. Im looking for a used 660 ballast now.

it's probably a wiring issue... take a picture of the wiring and send it to us..


(keep in mind that there could be a short in an endcap)

I have 2 icecap 4 bulb set ups both are now wired the same. one works and one doesnt.If i switch balast to the one I knows works it still pops a fuse on the same ballast. maybe some one at the meeting could look to see if i have it wired right.I would take a pic but my camera is getting fixed right now.
