Hello Blades was looking for some help please? I ahave a brand new phantom 400 watts digital ballast, Hydro farm radiant 6 refractor witha 400 watt MH bulb , problem is when i plug it in it comes on for 1 second then nothing , any help would be great thank you .
Did you buy the ballast and bulb online or at a local grow shop? Most places(even online) have a warranty on the products they sell. I would find the number and talk to them, no one will know better how to fix the problem than the company you bought it from. Sorry I can't be of more help.
I bought it at a local shop, called today and he said he thinks the bulb is bad so i have to take it back. Thanks for your thoughts.
I took it up to shop ballast was fine he checked it out the bulb was bad got me another 1 and it was bad, got a bad batch from factory. Hooked me up with a awesome upgrade for 20 bucks ! Real happy !
Glad things worked out for you man! Always take advantage of warranties or any available customer service.
