![]() I'm thinking it's the ballast as well but I don't have any way to test it. It's the coil and core style. And the ignitor is in the light itself so it makes it hard to test. I don't want to buy a new ballast if I don't have to. And it's a single so I cant switch ballasts to test.

![]() MH coil and core ballasts rarely go, I suspect it's the capacitor or ignitor. Have you ruled out the bulb?
