MH light problem

Recommended Posts

I have a 6 month old 150w MH with 2 lamps.

One of the lamps, the light comes on and off intermittently every 5-10 minutes.

Anyone faced a similar problem with their MH lights before?

I have spare ballast at home but i am not sure changing it will help

ballast most likely are not the culprit...maybe be the cause of the ignitor. Can you check at the RX7 holder to check if there is a carbon build up? If yes, scrap them away as poor contact may cause this problem too.

Hi i doubt carbon will build up that quickly as the lights are only a few months old.

Will an ignitor change work?

why dont u try the following since u have 2 MH on a light set

1) swop the bulb to confirm if the bulb is not faulty

2) swop the ignitor to confirm? If after swoping, the other size have this problem, it maybe the ignitor.

Ballast is more lasting so it should be the problem if the light set comes with Magnetic ballast

cheers
