Any chance its also on an AFCI, {arc fault}. Before putting in another circuit in my place, my halides would trip the arc fault breaker, everytime they fired.

On another note. I wonder if the Galaxy or Joel,s Lumatek would have the same am radio interference as my Icecaps did? And no matter the ideas to resolve it, nothing ever changed?

[Skimmin]

Yep not the gfi. When I hooked it up with out the gfi the lights would surge then make a shorting or zapping sound and then go out.

skimmin, get your money back?

[blaster]

mind your own business,It'll be taken care of

Lumatek now come with shielded lamp cords and components this has cut the RF interferance way back But there still is some traceable interferance if you get in close to the unit.

Does close to the unit mean down the hall to the kitchen 30ft. away? Thats where the radio is that my Icecap interfered with. The smallest Lumatek I see was 400w. Did I miss some?
