Welcome to RF! Sorry I can't offer any help... My PFO setup came already pre-wired. Here's a bump incase someone else may be able to help. Hope you enjoy it here

Did you try swapping the cords on the ballast, cuz it sounds like the ballast to me?

thanks for the response Krish and Charlie,unit is brand new and did come pre wired,also have switched ballasts l+r , comes down to socket or cord, will pull sockets apart today and see what goes to bulb base, will post later , thanks again

If you pull the wires off the socket, switch that socket to the other side, if the left one is still yellow than it is the wire, if the yellow moves to the right side it is the socket (I can't imagine it would be the wires though).

I was going to suggest swapping the chords but it looks like somebody beat me to it.

also, check and make sure the nipple on the bulb is facing the correct way as it can distort the spectrum some.
