I have a slimline strip light. It stopped working recently. Simple, I thought, I'll get another tube for it (and a spare). However, they didn't work. So I checked whether power was getting to it. It is and I've checked it's getting to both end contacts. This might sound simple but I don't understand. If both end contacts are live, surely the tubes should work or are the new ones both dud (highly unlikely). Any ideas please. Nick
Are you talking about a fluorescent tube or tungsten strip light (e.g. shaving light).
If the former have you tried changing the starter?
Peter
It's called a batten (MLL10) and has a triphosphor tube. There is no starter Nick
I don't recognise the MLL10 but given that you have now effectively tried three tubes it would suggest that there is a failure of the control gear inside the fitting.
Peter
I've had a similar problem. You need to replace the fitting. I tried to obtain new electronics but those in mine were not replaceable.
Or the ballast. Ballasts are available for all the popular sizes. Or it might be a bad endcap connector.
