metal halide troubles
Is there anyone or any place that can look at my mh setup to see what is wrong and what needs to be fixed to get it working again?

Have you ever checked the ballast to see whether or not the capacitor was burnout? It happened to mine before. I replaced the capacitor and it worked again.
|
In my ballast box there is a ballast an ignitor and a resistor I believe. Is the capacitor the same as these or is it something else?
|
If you have three components then you likely have a pulse start ballast. The transformer, the capacitor, and the ignitor. In my experience, the ignitors look a little like the capacitors but are smaller. But the exact looks will probably depend on whether it's an Advance ballast, or Venture, or some other brand.
Can you snap a picture of the three components? A probe start ballast is just the transformer and the capacitor. |

thank you for that link :mrgreen:
