Juwel light units - any way to test before buying a new one?

Just as the title says really.
I thought one of the bulbs had gone on my Rio 300 so have bought a replacement but no go. I've got old spare tubes so tried them in various combinations in case it was the tubes themselves. Still no go.
Before I go and spend money on a new light unit (AGAIN), is there any way to test the bulbs, or to test the light unit itself? I'm not very techy, I'll be honest. Its just a T8, I don't want to upgrade, I just want my lights to work. Although - all my crypts seem to be flourishing in the dark! They look really healthy :D but it'd be nice to be able to see my fish.
The tank is 5/6 years old so the warranty is obviously up. I've already had to replace the light unit once before. You would think it would have a better "shelf-life" than 3 years........

Any help appreciated
