Anyone know where I might get a Tek Elite T5 fixture serviced?

My Tek Elite is giving me a bit of a shock and I was wondering if anyone knew anyone who could fix it? Tried taking it apart last night but not really sure if I could get it back together...

Do you have four or more bulbs?  If so, you can try figuring out which bank is giving you the shock and compare the connections and wiring of the bank that is not shocking you.  Maybe something is just loose and needs to be tightened.

If you feel a mild shock or tingle when touching an appliance, a ground fault in the appliance or improper electrical wiring may be the cause.

If you notice a shock after crossing a carpeted surface, it may be from static, which is common in the winter and not cause for concern.

You should, however, take other types of electrical shock seriously as you don't want to risk the situation becoming worse

Can start with double checking the grounding.
I`m sure they are some electrical inclined hobbyist among us.
