Default AgHhH!! Ballast question . . . YaY!!
Hey you guys need help on this one . . .

I just bought the reefstar lighting system from hamilton (1x250watt DE HQI 10,000k)

But anyhow . . . when I switch the ballast on . . . should it fire the light on right away?? Because when I turn it on . . the ballast kinda just makes a buzzing or a humming sound . . .

I turned it on and off maybe around 5 times after turning it on for about 1 min each interval but on my 5th - 6th try the ballast "turned on" and the light turned on as well . . .

IS THIS NORMAL?? Or should it be like Power compacts?? (as soon as u turn it on it turns on)

PLS. Help me . . . need to know if I need to return the product or nit . . . Thanks U guys!
