Default T5 receptacle

So I had the end cap melt on my t5 light. I’ve checked Rona and the only carry the t12. Home Depot doesn’t show anything on their web site. Does anyone know where to find these?

I might have an extra in my bin of parts. I can check tomorrow. I’m located in Edmonton as well.

No I don’t know why I haven’t opened it up to look at the wiring yet.
That would be great Dez please let me know.

I looked through my stuff to no avail. I did see some at Lowe’s today though in South common. But they aren’t waterproof T5 endcaps, just regular ones. I’m not sure how important it is to have waterproof endcaps. Do you have an acrylic shield?

No, no acrylic shield. So I guess now the next question is where to find that.
