400 Watt Metal Halide

Hey,

I just bought a 400 Watt 10K bulb and PFO ballast. I've had it running all day and the bulb still has not lit up yet. I was wondering if it took an extremely long time to break in the bulb or if the light or ballast isn't working.

Thanks

Sounds like one or the other. It should have lit up a long time ago. :(

My 400 watt starts up right away, it takes about 5 minutes before it is at full intensity, any longer and shut it down for 15 minutes and try again, if it still doesn't work take the whole unit back and have the place test it you bought it from.
