agree with the line voltage and lamp
used. If not, replace the ballast.
starts, replace ballast. Check for
swollen capacitors, charred wiring,
core and coil, or other signs of
Voltage should be within 10% of
cracks where lamp meets base, and
for broken arc tube or loose metal
parts. Replace as needed.
b.Under certain conditions new lamps
may "cycle". Usually after 3 tries to
start at 30 to 60 second intervals,
lamp will stabilize and operate normal
rating when operating at normal load.
Check wiring connections for voltage
loss. Check socket contact point.
a.Check voltage at ballast, for current
or voltage surges, for shorted
capacitors and replace as needed
