i jus got a high pressure sodium bulb and ballast of my friend. the problem is that when i plug the set up in, it warms up normally but then suddenly shuts off on its own. then in about 10 seconds it turns on again for about 20 seconds then turns off. it does this continuously. could this be a wiring problem?:confused:​
