The T8 light fitting in my Rio 180 won't turn on anymore. Unfortunately I have no spare bulbs, so I was wondering if there was any other way of identifying whether it was a bulb or the ballast which had gone?

Cheers!
 
Nevermind, sorted. It appears you can test tubes with a multimeter across each set of pins at each end - open circuit is bad. Appears I have a blown tube!
