I have a 600w digital dimmable ballast along with a 600w hps bulb, not sure of the brand, but my buddy let me borrow his and he said it wasn't a cheap one. Well i checked on my ladies earlier, and i noticed the whole light was off, didn't really check if ballast was running or not, i just quickly went over to my timer box and turned off and turned on then the light flipped right back on. But it doesn't seem as bright/orange. It's not nearly as ORANGE and vibrant you know? is it close to dying?
Always a good idea to carry a spare bulb...for this very moment, get another bulb, if it don't go you may assume it's the ballast. peace "V"
