problems with ballast

Yeah no doubt, I am not going to run them to see if they straighten out. they had been running intermittantly for longer than I liked. I had a standby and took one of the new bulbs out. the standby bulb was the only one that was actually working. I think the new bulbs may have worked okay for a week. but I am not even sure I remember them tripping on and off.

Sure does beat buying a new ballast. I was having a hard time blaming the ballast as it is a mag ballast so should be realitively trouble free. I'll give a new set a shot. was thinking of trying some 400 xm 10ks for a while. that should be pretty bright. In the growing stage right now. The radiums look nice. but are almost a little too blue for me.
