I have a dimmble ballast that will start at the lowest setting.250watt. After the ligths are on i can turn it up to 600watts. Does anyone know if and how to fix it?

I got one of these and it's great. 25 cents per led watt. You'll spend less on electricity also.
We got "kijiji" (on line private sales) here, I just got an older, new, in unopened box Spider Farmer SF 4000 for $250 CAD, which would replace that 600w HID nicely.
Shop around a bit & I'm sure you'll find something you can afford, but no "burples"
Sucks, but if you wanna play - you gotta pay.
Unless you have decent electronics knowledge AND the controls are not embedded in epoxy it's going to be tough to not spend more money...
GL!
