Well, I had a grow and a half with the Lumatek 600 watt electronic ballast Hydrofarm version with 60%-75%-100%-super, no problems, until now,,,I'm using a new Hortilux HPS bulb, and a Xtrasun 6'' cooled hood.
Everything started fine then I noticed the light's would flicker,,,after that it is much dimmer than my 400 watt mag ballast,,,I changed the bulb again it was bright at first than the same thing much dimmer,,,If I switch the lumes nothing happens a quick flicker, but no brighter?
My question is there a cheap way you can you test to see if It's the Bulb,Ballast, or hood? I'm still under warranty but HPS bulbs are not cheap,,,neither are Hood's,,,and I kinnda wan't this problem fixed asap?
