Default Is my Light Screwed up?

Hi Everyone. I own a Coralife Pro 250 light and for some reason the built in cooling fan will only turn with a specific ballast. If I flip the other switch on it does not turn on the fan which leads to overheating.

IF you currently own a Coralife Pro can you please test yours to see if this is the same for you... For some reason I think something is defective on my system.

Thanks

Reggie

I have a 150w unit, the fan only comes on with one of the ballasts. Since both lights always come on, it's not an issue with me.

IC What an odd thing to do... I had a buddy mention that he staggers his lights turning on/off and I figured I give it a try. Thats how I found out... I guess thats not a smart thing to do with this light fixture...

thanks
