Very odd. Only thing i can think of is that HQI bulbs are overdriven i think and hard on bulbs. Perhaps the SE bulbs just cant take it and are packing it in from stress. It may also be hard on the ballasts too. I just lost one of my ballasts last week after only 2 years. It was a HQI running DE bulbs.

The radium bulbs, according to everything I've read are supposed to be run on these ballasts but the bulb wouldn't even flicker

That does seem odd. I had the same thing happen on one of my ballasts the other week. I turned it on and off repeatedly with no firing of the bulb. I then turned it off for about a minute and back on and it worked. It worked fine for a few days then did the same thing. I haven't had a problem with it ever since but am not sure whether its the ballast (dual PFO), or the bulb as the bulbs are only a couple months old.
