Is this the one that you bought from me?
I did not have any issues with it running from June to Sept before I upgraded. But there is a knob on the ballast that says fuse. I've never opened this but presume you could unscrew it and inspect. Hopefully the fuse just burned out and you can see the filament is not intact (like an incandescent light bulb). Hope this helps. |

Yeah, it is the one I got from you
Sadly the fuse is intact, and from what little Google-Fu I have been able to summon, it is either the light switch, the capacitor (I don't even know what that is!) or the transformer ... bleh ... Charles

All the right experience

Take a trip down to the Incredigrow store off Macleod by cheesecake cafe. These hydroponic horticulture specialists work with mh ballasts for a living they can give you options. |
