Shit, just had a split second power cut, all fans/dehumidifier went off and back on but I ran in room as quick as I could unplugged all 3 ballasts cos obviously all 3 lights were out and not reignighting.....So now I have a nervous 15min wait see if all 3 ballasts / bulbs fucked! :opps:
 
And of course you cant, cos ur all at church!
 
I've had it happen a few times and it's never been a problem although it's certainly not healthy are they all digital ballasts? Or Mags?

I take it if I wasnt here to unplug them all something woulda been fucked, right?
 
You can wire up a time on delay relay which delays the lights coming on by 15 minutes when the power is live from the timer. Then set the timer to have an extra 15 mins on (This gives you 12/12 again) then if the power cuts out there's a 15 minute delay before the lights come back on.

It's very easy exactly what I did the other day but with a different relay.

But I wouldn't buy one from them lol I pay £6 for mine instead of £66 for the same relay lol.
 
Right now cunts! What's everyone up to today?

We're getting ready for another feast, me being the chef again. About 100 people are expected and I'm gonna burn my ass of BBQing. Got 30kg coal ready

Being a digital they probably have some form of soft start protection so probably nothing, Mags might have caused an issue, that said good mags last 25 years+ and digitals don't so it's horses for courses.
