So my lumatek adjustable ballast decided it won't run halides any more, so being a couple weeks old I went back to the hydro store and got them to test it, it ran the HPS build with no issues, I only had one MH bulb so I thought ok time to buy another halide bulb. XM10k arrived today and it too won't fire. So what gives ?
I was thinking ignighter ? Nope HPS use ignighters, weird eh?
I'll take in my lamp holder, bulbs and ballast in tomorrow and ask if I can test, I reckon it's ballast, some how not detecting a bulb is connected. The bulbs look fine.
I was watching the tank when the light went off, it made no noise, nothing just went off and now will only fire HPS.
