Went to the hydro shop yesterday, checked my ballast. Bulb fired up and got bright quick. Left it on for 1/2 hour and the ballast was cool and really quiet. The guys in the shop were stoked! I'll be putting it back and monitoring regularly.

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
