Just one question which i would really need an anwser to. My friend has an HPS lamp (400 w) last summer it stopped working for some reason. The light itselfe is still huming hence the ballast is working is it possible that the bulb gave up? it has been used intensively for a couple of years. Or is it possible that something else has gone to shit in the lamp itselfe? Any one that has any idea please hit back a couple of lines!
peace pot and llove
it sound's like the bulb has gone especially as you've not changed the bulb in all that time.
ok cool thanx for the help man
be wise and legalise!
peace
It surely is the bulb. However it could also be the starter, it is advised to replace both at the same time.
u mean the ignitor? hmmm problems problems problems u c its not easy to get a hold of these things here. Ill change the light bulb and c what happens. IT cant blow in my face can it? incase the ignitor isnt working. U ppl seem to know a bit about lights and such would u guys buy anychance know how much a sun cell grow room cost? not like i can afford one jus wondering.
thanx again
peace
they seldom blow,but when they do it's usually caused by overload,bad or weak bulb or for no reason at all,they are simple to replace and inexpensive,I've only changed them a couple of times before,dont solder it,just use wire nuts,only 3 wires h-n-g,about $30.00....bonbon
