I have a Finnex T5 X 39W X 4 Bulb 36" light fixture. There are two ballasts.
Jamicon B1152078L03W1 is the part number on the ballast. Does anyone know where I can obtain a replacement? I e-mailed Jamicon and the replied that they don't sell these in the USA. My question is, Then why sell the light fixtures in the USA with your parts in them?

Though you can't obtain a Jamicon ballast, you can certainly obtain one that will work and be incredibly similar. They are all made in China and the ballast company puts their sticker on them. I found this out a while ago.

Edit: Contact any one of the several aquarium lighting companies. They should have just what you need.
