I have a 48" 40 watt aquarium hood light combo. The light quit working last Monday. Well, only the ends lit up slighty. I bought a new bulb. It did the same thing. So, it's not the bulb. How about the ballast? I've searched the internet for a S40BP with no avail. Everyone is out of stock. I've left my hall light on during the day so that my fish can get some light. Today, my husband took the ballast out, put it back in, replaced the starter and the bulb... and now nothing, not even a slight glow on the end. He said he heard a pop sound. So, what gives? Was the ballast working, then there was a pop sound, and now it doesn't work? How on earth am I going to get a new S40BP ballast? Is there anything comparable? Help! My figh need light!
