Did u get them working
How long is the cord from balast to lightsNo I have not. I'm in the process of seeing if the manufacturer we'll send me a new igniter and capacitor. Even though the components test out good. The last thing is maybe the magnetic core is dead, but there is no burnt smell. I am really at a loss plus a loss of 6 ballasts.
Make sure that they're on 240 and not 308 or 600 voltHow long is the cord from balast to lights
4 of the ballasts are within the supplied cord length, and 4 are on a 10' extension. They have all burnt out within the supplied cord length.How long is the cord from balast to lights
The ballast only allows 110 or 240, and they are set to 240Make sure that they're on 240 and not 308 or 600 volt
Ok good to know, and thanks for the info!!Ignitors are expensive, half the price of a new ballast, make sure you try and get long range ignitors, not the ones rated for 15 feet.
I now have it setup on a timer, no issues since. So if the igniter is burnt out, would the MH bulb not work, or does the burnt out igniter render the ballast dead?Are you keeping the ballasts on when they are trying to ignite the 8 empty mogul sockets, that will cause the ignitor circuit in the ballasts to fail, can't keep sending the 5000V spike to ignite the bulbs. Ballasts should be connected to timerboard to power off and on every 12 hours.
No igniter no light .I now have it setup on a timer, no issues since. So if the igniter is burnt out, would the MH bulb not work, or does the burnt out igniter render the ballast dead?
Even for a Metal Halide, I though MH didn't need an igniter.No igniter no light .
Maybe but my igniter was gone and nothing worked .$60 got me a new one and I got a spair . in case .Even for a Metal Halide, I though MH didn't need an igniter.
Thanks for info, I'll look into getting a new igniter, replace and post the results!!Maybe but my igniter was gone and nothing worked .$60 got me a new one and I got a spair . in case .
I was told that they go when power flickers or when unplugged alot .That's how mine went during a freezing rain stormThanks for info, I'll look into getting a new igniter, replace and post the results!!
