    For future reference. I know its not ideal but if your only in veg they'll be sound left for a few days with no light. I think I've left them a week before, granted they looked a little yellow they bounced back fine

    Cheers mate but I'm well into flower. If the lights drop out for to long the RH will go up to about 95%.

    Just wondering if it behaves the same. I’d definitely be contacting the shop where originally ordered from and the manufacturer 🇬🇧

    does seem a strange occurance,dont know bay6 stuff but they look generic.

    if my digi ballasts trip off they always take at 5- 10mins to fire back up again due to their builtin hotstrike defence/softstart .

    i have had problems in the past with a weak house trip/breaker switch fuse thing always being borderline to tripping out,sometimes just the merest flicker on n off ,noticed mainly when broadand modem kept resetting on its own or a slight flicker of the house lights.

    i just replaced the trip unit/fuse,was told by a sparky they get old and their rating falls drastically over time,mine was rated at 30amp yet was tripping/flickering off at roughly 25amp apparently,it was also tripping its switch when i put kettle on sometimes .

    Ah I didnt realise you were growing autos dude, just seen you were on 24/0 so guessed you were still vegging

    I dont like 24/0 personally. I think the roots need the dark period. Havent done autos personally but my experience vegging under 24 hours of light was not as good as 18/6. Plus it saves 6 hours of electricity. Which makes all the difference with 2kw or so.

    I did have on 18/6 and during the 6 hrs off I had a 1500kw oil heater on to keep temps stable but I was struggling so I just turned to 24/0 with no heater.

    Yeah def not a prob with the electrics in my house. I'm a sparky so I got that bit covered. I was posting mainly to see if anyone has had this issue before. My main electrics will trip under fault conditions. Overload being one of them. It's not my electrics tripping it's just the light turning on a off. If the electrics tripped I would have to manually reset them.

    aha,fooked ballast then,,,unless the bulbs are of a particurly cheap nastiness and arent in spec for a digital ballast perhaps,have heard of such a thing when digital first came about but unsure if theyre more universal nowadays.
