I use two of those timer/powerbars, plus have a coralife light fixture. Can tell you this, when I tried to put a electronic ballast on the fixture and blew the igniters. Yes, you can't do that. Keven @ Red Coral helped me out, but I then called Coralife.
Guess what without questioning, they sent me a new igniter for free. I asked them can I buy some new LED lenses, they sent me 4 for free. I had them in about 1.5 weeks from the USA.
So in regards to others not liking Coralife products. I have never had any major issues, unless I caused them. And their customer service was very surprising and exceptional at the same time. I would not hesitate to buy a coralife product again based on the type of service I got.7
In regards to your question, have you changed the battery? It may be causing a short of some sort. I have seen this happen with computers at times that need the bios battery replaced, maybe same problem with the timer/powerbar.
