SunPod - How do I know if my bulb blew?

Well I went to turn on my SunPod and both the fan and light will not turn on? It's a fairly new fixture (around 1 month) and I haven't had any problems with it so far.

How do I know if my bulb blew?

Which sunpod, 150w or 250W? It sounds like your bulb is not the problem though.

It's the 150w...it was working just fine yesterday but now it won't turn on? The fan doesn't turn on when I flip the switch either...

Check your GFI. The fan and bulb are wired directly to the ac line. so if both do not work, then you are not getting power to it. Take it off and take it to another 120v source in the house.

I have the 250w. I would also check the fuse. My first thought was the GFCI though. Goodluck.
