It turns out it was a bad bulb.....Kim mailed a replacement, and the sun
now shines on my tank!

Hey,


I've wired the kit according to the instructions that came with it, but
when I plug in the bulb and the fixture, it doesn't come on. I removed
the wingnuts from the red-red-brown and blue-yellow connection, and
applying a voltmeter, I see power at this point. What can I do to
troubleshoot and figure out what is going wrong? Anyone have similar
problems?


Do you have another CF bulb that you can try? Perhaps that bulb was
damaged during shipping or was defective.
