im no good with electrics and stuff but doesnt it have a fuse ?did u check that ?my ballast has what looks to be a fuse that just screws outagh fuck!!! Well it still wont turn on, so i might take the globe to the shop tomorrow and see. I HOPE the globe is the problem as wouldnt hurt to try this dual light anyway. But a broken ballast would piss me off. Its still under warrenty though
Damn they looking good odlaw. What strain?
Yer i replaced it. Said that right at the end
" I also replaced the fuse on the ballast. "
Gonna go up again in a moment to check again....need to get through this lecture first....ironic its all about drugs with heavy mention of weed lol.

You can't hot strike a HID Globe. Also the reason it zapped you is beacuse there is residual power running through the cables. Always wait at least 1 minute (2 is better) between the time u turn the Ballast off & the time u unplug it from the wall. It can damage the Ballast to rip the line out. Speak 2 the fella's @ the shop, they have spare kit & they'l test it 4u.Ill soon find out SCG
ALSO, i was checking on my plant, and accidently hit the cable to the ballast out. It turned off the light and about 30seconds later i plugged it back in......now it wont turn on. No obvious damage to the light (doesnt look as if its actually blown unless im missing something)
This sound more ballast issue or globe issue? I unplugged it again to box the ballast up and in doing so touched the power cable terminals whilst unplugged and it still zapped me (the male adaptor that you plug into the wall) I also replaced the fuse on the ballast.
If it sounds globe related, i was looking at buying a sunmaster 600W Dual spectrum light anyway. Anyone have experience with them?
Well whatever was wrong is now fixed
Im guessing the caps just needed to discharge and reset the overload. As for turning off and unpluging. Just so i have this right, your saying if i flick the switch at the wall, i should still leave the cable plugged in even though its off? - Makes sense based on what just happened lol.
The guys at the shop seem a lil seedy, so im sure they have thier own grows lol.

Australia just passed a law that allows cops to search homes without a warrant under anti terror law. Anyone know the details?

Doesn't mean they can use that law as an excuse to walk into any home - they would need to have reasons for the search and your common PC Plod won't be able to just walk into your place.
I don't know the details but I am certain that "without a warrant" and "without a fucking clue" are not quite the same.

hahah well said. Tbh i think common sense (payin for things with cash, keeping low profile, not growing fuck loads, etc) and you shouldnt have a problem. If you give them nothing than they not gonna just randomly search places lol.
The drug misuse act (1995) Qld give police almost unlimited powers to search your home and they can get an after the fact warrant that can be held up in court with something as small as an anonymous tip off which by the same law is not allowed to be disclosed. All too convenient huh thats how my house and several mates houses got raided no evidence whatsoever.
