check all the connections before asking what you already said might be wrong, if your ballasts are not mounted you may be jolting the power suply..

if the ballastys wernt mounted , you can have power surge to the bulbs which in time will blow them, you want to m,ake sure the ballasts are mounted in a solid location.

HFPK20 · 09-07-2009, 03:37 PM
