I tilted one of the shop light fixtures to try to see in to it. It was one of the bottom level ones and I think must have had water dripped on top of it from the level above. Anyway I tilted it and there was a pop, sizzle, sparks flying and then EVERYTHING went dark -- all sixteen tubes and two heat pads went off.
I thought maybe I blew a fuse, but I flipped the circuit breakers and everything is still off.
The way it is hooked up, one wall socket has an outlet strip plugged in to it that has the top four light fixtures plugged in. The second wall socket has an outlet strip with the two heat mats and another outlet strip. That one has the bottom four light fixtures. That way I can flip two buttons and all the lights go off, but the heat mats stay on.
But now it is ALL off, even though it isn't even all on the same outlet strip and it isn't even all plugged in to the same wall socket. The wall socket is two together as typical and they are all plugged in to that, so all on the same circuit.
So all you folks that know electricity, now what? Does this mean I have to replace all 16 light tubes and 2 heat mats? What about the fixtures the tubes are in? That would be a huge expense... I bought all that stuff a little at a time over a period of years.

But I have 16 trays of seedlings sitting down there in the cool dark and the weather is not cooperating to bring any of it out.
DAMN, DAMN !!
