Probably defective bulb... i would see if you can get a replacement.I have a Lumatek LK1000 Dimmable electronic Ballast. I have a Raptor Air-Cooled Reflector with 4" ducts. Both are about four years old and operate well with normal HID bulbs: from a Hortilux 1000W HPS to a Xtrasun 600 W MH. I purchased a Genesis 1000W MH high output digital bulb. I installed it and it fits perfectly. I dialed the Ballast to 1000W. I plugged the Ballast in and the light flicked on and started warming up. It ran for about an hour and then turned off. One of the fuse breakers on the Ballast had flipped. I waited and then tried again, same result. I did speak with a Rep from Genesis and he said that my Ballast would work. Any thoughts about what may be causing the fuse breaker to flip?

Swap bulbs (troubleshooting)It's possible but the circuit breaker is not flipping only the internal Ballast breaker (white buttons on Ballast in above picture on my original post in this thread.) I currently have a hortilux 1000W HPS bulb running in the same Ballast without a problem.
I did. Thanks.Swap bulbs (troubleshooting)
