No matter how many times I read that it makes no sense to me either.:razz:

Who cares what it says, does it matter? Haha...

Your ballast probably has a re-start thingy ( i forget the proper term ) You can't plug it in, unplug and go back to turn it on. It needs at least 5 minutes before you can turn it back on. Some kind of safety feature or something.

Sorry I'm not too informative.. bottom line: If you unplug it and plug it back in right away, it won't fire. You need to wait a few minutes.

HTH

ya it is a double ended and it have it mounted in one of those fixtures from homedepot and am using the "uv glass it came with"

oh and ya I left it unplugged for 10 mins and tryed it again and it fired right up, thanks for the advice guys...what would I do without canreef.

Mike,
I had no idea what you were trying to say? :lol:


Prosnow,
Glad the ballast is working good for you.

some one posted that the light gives off strong UV rays .so use it like a UV sterlizer. it was a joke.
