    I have restarted them back to back before, sometimes it take a second for the bulb to kick back on but she will. I doubt its recommended but never done me any wrong.... wuoldnt make a habit of it tho.

    No big issue

    The issue lies within the bulbs them selves. Once they have struck, the bulb needs to cool down time before re-striking. The ballast is of no real issue
