The bulb will need to cool before it can be re-fired. Try it again in 5 - 10 minutes or so.

Any super bright light next to your eyes will hurt after a while

Be warned though, if you have a double ended bulb you need to shield it with a piece of glass as it puts out a ton of UV.

No matter how many times I read that it makes no sense to me either.

Who cares what it says, does it matter? Haha...

Your ballast probably has a re-start thingy ( i forget the proper term ) You can't plug it in, unplug and go back to turn it on. It needs at least 5 minutes before you can turn it back on. Some kind of safety feature or something.

Sorry I'm not too informative.. bottom line: If you unplug it and plug it back in right away, it won't fire. You need to wait a few minutes.

I had no idea what you were trying to say?


Prosnow,
Glad the ballast is working good for you.
