    Default Utterly baffled.

    So.1 bulb 1 reflector. 4 lumii 600 watt ballasts and 1 digitech and 1 sun master ballasts
    The 4 lumii ones won’t fire up the bulb(600 dual spectrum) but the other two will.
    ?!?! Surely this doesn’t make sense.

    Hmm . Maybe the entire batch of lumii ballasts are faulty

    Not sure. Need another bulb.. they used to work. I just find it weird coincidence that 4 same brand ballasts kaput at the same time! Could it be the bulb is fragged and they can’t start it as well? (Random stoned thought)

    I’ve picked them up over the years so not same batch.. all been sitting in my loft for about a year. They don’t have lights like the digitech job so can’t tell if they are trying to fire

    might be the bulb ur using vs all 4 ballasts going faulty at once

    The LUMii® DIGITA Ballast has safety features built in that protects the unit’s circuitry, if a short is detected. When the ballast detects an abnormal input or output voltage, due to an old or damaged lamp, it will not attempt to ignite the bulb.

    Boom kinda what I was thinking then? New bulb lot cheaper than new ballast! Still can’t see it though. The lumiis are not as good as the other ballasts!?

    Of interest, are these ballasts digital or magnetic?

    My guess is 2 digital & 4 magnetic....

    If they are all dimmable then they are all digital
