I recently bought a phantom 600w ballast, I'm having issues with it. Prior to this, I was running a 400w without any problems at all.
The problem is, that the phantom doesn't start up at times. I got my lights on a 9pm to 9 am schedule. When 9 comes around sometimes it will start without issues, other times it gives me the stand by code.. The 2 lights blinking now I'm using ipower bulbs so I'm not sure if they have something to do with it? I'm just trying to get this sorted. I haven't had any problems with the timer so I don't think it's that but what else could it be?if it was the ballast no ligh would be on correct? When it doesn't turn on all I do is unplug and plug back in and it starts right up. I got no clue what it is bu dont want to replace stuff that isn't the cause... Any info is appreciated because this irritates me
