Ballast problems...
I worked an overnight shift last night and got home today around 3:30PM to find that one of my 400w halides had not fired this morning. I am using a dual 400w PFO ballast. I thought perhaps I would try to fire it again so I reached to toggle the power switch and found that when I applied any pressure, it would make an odd fizzing sound. I didn't think that could be a good thing so I turned it off and as I did so, it snapped and the switch became loose. Now I can't turn it back on because there is no resistance in the switch, and I only have one bulb going. The unit is under a year old and was purchased from J&L. They are going to give me a shout in a few days. 
My question is, will my stonies be alright with only one halide over half the tank for a few days or even a few weeks?
