OK , got up the attic....! Found the ballast. Opened up. Shits heavy! Nothing looks burned. Every thing was super clean inside. I've located the internal parts(pics tmrw!) ballast, ignitor and capacitor. wiring all looks good, insulation is pliable, multiple wires run in and out of ballast. Those wire have a slight tan/yellow shade to them. still soft and the component wiring is still legible. Tomorrow my brother is bringing my multi meter.

I fixed a bunch of wiring while I was up there. Nothing to major, just a neutral wire came undone in a junction box. The last person must not have got all the wires in the wire nut.....hmmmm! Perfect example of want IT done right, do IT yourself!

Going to call for ballast internals specs later tmrw morning.....today!? I need some sleep!
bleupitbudz Reviewed by bleupitbudz on . 600W HPS Ballast problem I was wondering if any one has opened/ worked on an HPS ballast before? A couple weeks ago I fired up my indoor grow again and found one of my HPS lights not working! So I let it sit "ON" for an hour, thinking it may need to warm up, nothing. Next, I hopped up in the attic, where the ballast is, and checked plugs, everything was good. Then I took my bulb to my hydroponics store, they plugged it in, bulb is good. So now I've troubleshot it down to the ballast. I know from research there are 3 Rating: 5
