Odyssea HQI/ T5 light fixture only WITH BULBS! Stock Ballast is toast from day one (shocked me) so threw it away. But the FIXTURE and BULBS are BRAND NEW and only plugged in ONCe for 4 min to check for working order after it arrived.

If the ballast was fried, how can you say that you plugged it in to check for working order? In my experience, a light requires a properly working ballast in order to fire the bulbs.

After thinking about how I listed the item after he complained about it, ( I Looked back at the thread where it was listed) I probably shouldnt have used "BRAND NEW" in the thread.

So why don't you do the right thing & refund ALL of his money since you've admitted you listed it as "BRAND NEW" & the fixture clearly was defective. You'd save face here @ RC & besides, it's the right thing to do.

I'd be pretty upset also if I bought a fixture that was listed as "BRAND NEW" & upon getting home, found out I was lied to. I'm sure you'd be ****ed if the roles were reversed.
