Bought Arcadia bulbs.....don't work in my hood!

jerichosmom · Jul 20, 2018

I bought the Arcadia D3+ 12% bulbs in 24" length. I put it in my hood and it wouldn't light up. Now the hood won't work with the repitsun bulb either so it's totally dead. The hood says it's 17w and the bulb is 18w so therein lies my dilemma. What hood are you guys using with your arcadia bulbs?
Thank you!!

I currently use this 46" T5 fixture for almost all my bulbs (which are both Arcadia and Reptisun).

Never had a problem with the fixture.

I also use the 22" version of it and so far haven't had a problem either although I've only used reptisun with them but I assume if I got a 22" arcadia bulb it would work fine.

This is the best one I use and highly recommend. It has a very good reflector on it.

Check the starter ?
A defective starter can cause the bulb to flicker continuously or leave you in total darkness, there is only one good way to test it: by replacing it with a good starter.
