How about this?

Max Change 015 M Then LT1 OFF

I've got restrike problems with my MH HQI ballast. They will NOT turn back on anytime within 12-15 minutes after having been turned off. And if you try to turn them on, that 12-15 minute clock just seems to start all over.

Having the above statement just keeps me from frustrating myself. If I foolishly try to turn them on too soon, I won't reset the clock. And if I turn them off manually for a few minutes, but have got a timer that will turn them back on soon, this prevents that problem too. They'll stay off as long as needed for the restrike to reset, but no longer.
