Light power supply. Anyone know what brand and where to get one from?
Hello all. When I recently bought my new (used) tank it came with lights and the "special" power supply for lights. Does anyone know what brand it is (or any other brands with the same plugs), Prices and where to buy them? Also whatever the official name for that power supply is so I can look it up. Here's a few pictures.

Sticker on one of your photos says 'Advance' so it's presumably an Advance Ballast. Looks like an HID ballast for Metal Halides. Should be a part number on there somewhere or you may have to open it up if that's possible. If it turns out to be a magnetic ballast, it may be repairable, usually the capacitor goes. It it's electronic, the insides will be gummed up & not repairable.
