Hmm...

If the voltage goes low enough to break arc, but not low enough to reset the timer chip on the relay, I could see them misbehaving.

Figure the board prob runs low-voltage 5-20v and uses a timer chip to close a 110 relay- board power supply is going to deal better w/ flux than the arc, so it might be that your hot-starts aren't tripping all the way.

You in Cali?

'cause if you are, your voltage gets all kinds of wacky this time of year... people and their air conditioners.


I don't know, man... IANAEE ( I am not an electrical engineer), but it seems worth investigation.
rhizome Reviewed by rhizome on . Ballast Overheated My Cannalight 600 watt ballast cut out this morning.I pluged it out let it cool down and it started up again. The temp in the room at the ballast stays at about 80f(cant get it any lower). Im a bit worried about this now being a fire hazard,its always been pretty warm to the touch,It has a built in fuse which screws into the side of it and another one in the plug,plus its pluged into a surge protector. Its about a year old,how often should they be replaced? Has anyone ever heard of this Rating: 5
