Alright so I got the lights all figured out and they now work.

After putting the bulbs in, I realized the screen is only going to be 3 inches above the light bulbs. They are 2 bulb fluorescent...

ya i was starting to think it had to be the wiring. i do know a couple of electricians, but getting them over here has been proven hard so far.

ok i just looked at the breaker and it says 20 on it. the only other thing that was plugged in was a surge protector on a different outlet. i unplugged that, plugged the unit in, flipped the switch...

ok so it sounds like i have some options. how long is your burn with the daylight bulbs? how about with the blacklight bulbs?

i went to lowes to day to look at some light fixtures. due to my lack of space im going to be using 24" tubes. i know its probably smarter in the long run to make it bigger, but i just cant.
