250W MH Favor

Finally got my ballasts yesterday, and hooked up the bulbs. They fired up great. Actually, the first one fired up and I let it run for about 2 mins. I unplugged the ballast and removed the bulb. I then put the second bulb in and plugged in the ballast. Because the ballast was now warm, it did not fire the second bulb right away I guess the ballasts have to cool off before they will refire. So I took my neighbor (electrician)downstairs to show him the main tank and sump etc and when we came back upstairs the kitchen was extremely well lit. I am sooooooooooo stoked about getting these lights up. If all goes well, the tank should be up and running before christmas.

Cheers,
