My fellow Farmers, I need your help. My 1000w ballast AND light went haywire on me and are both totally fried (less than a week of use). I went and bought a cheap temporary replacement at the local hydro store. Got a 'SG Ballast' (1000w) by hydrofarm and a 'xtrasun' 1000w bulb. Anyways, it is strong and pretty hot, took my lux meter to it and it was in the 600's to 2000's?!?!? Weaker than my 600w! At the BULB it is only 8,000 Lux!
What is the problem? The ballast? The bulb? Both? I have never been very .....what's the word? Electrically inclined?... And the problems just keep coming. Someone please help me. Much obliged.
Regards,
Prestige
