Need ballast switch

[Proteus]

Bought a jbj 29g 150mh.

It's ready to go but the switch on the ballast is not making contact. It has a sweet spot but since its spring operated it doesn't like to do as I need

I need a switch weather new or used. Even a scrap ballast I can use for parts or where to buy switch


Thanks

I'm sure it's just a two wire switch easy fix

4 wire

And yeah I may look for a random switch. Just want one that fits

I'm no electrician, but if it's 4-wire, I'd stick with it
A 2-wire usually just interrupts the hot circuit
In your case, they've probably got it wired so it interrupts both the hot and neutral circuits

And for 150w, even with the draw when the ballast first fires up, you'd be fine with a switch that can handle 5amps (3amp min as your light runs on 1.25A)

Good luck in your search
