Another possibility could be that it is a GFI breaker, and they can be very touchy (like if you are holding a glass of water and look at the breaker it will flip). One quick way to find out would be to run a heavy guage extention cord (12ga recommended) from another circuit and see if that circuit's breaker trips, if it does than you have a ballast issue...if not than replace the breaker. Hope this helps :thumbsup:

JSG.

I was gonna mention the GFI plug.. That's probably where it is.. If the breaker ain't trippin' like I am! 12 gauge for sure! You pretty much got the senario down for him! Nice goin'JSG.. See... Ain't it nice when ebb n flow works to everyones advantage?

Peace to ya,Brother!
