I just saw that your meter will handel 240v, a hps ballast puts out a voltage in the 1000's if your meteris protected it will pop the fuse. if not it will fry your meter.
I bet your bulb got fucked somehow.....bummer.....it's not switchable ballast is it?
Sounds like a bulb problem, did you install it with gloves on and/or wipe it clean from the oil smudges / fingerprints when you installed it?
unfortunatly I am almost positively sure it is his ballast. It is very rare a bulb goes that quick. If the bulb was damaged or cracked it would have exploded.
Anybody got a UL certified digital ballast?
You had to make me look!
Now you got me f'in scared there is no UL rating on mine and I got it from the same place.
Now I got to smoke 0ne and prey.
From what I have read...there are no UL Certified Digital Ballasts....yet.
I would like to know the heat and air flow conditions that the ballast was in, I do know they do not take heat well.
No heat at all.. room stays around 70-75 degrees.. wall mounted and the surface of the ballast was barely warm of the time.. i was suprised at how cool the thing ran..
I'm stumped, sounds like it could have been the ballast.. now I'm nervous.. i dont want it to happen again after i replace it.. could it have been because it was on a timer? I had it hooked from a 120v/ 1750 watt timer into a surge protector that the ballast was plugged into.. so its unlikely to have been a surge.. the timer wasnt heavy duty, but according to the statistics, it should have been sufficient enough to use with the light.
