Bad 70w Metal Halide Ballast or bulb?

Recommended Posts

I just got a used WPI 75w ballast and a new HQI 70w DE bulb, with no luck lighting the damn thing...

 

Does anyone know how I can tell if the WPI 75w ballast is a good one?

 

The bulb is from Hamilton, but still does not look so good, its all grey inside...and just goes, pzzzzhpt, with a little bitty arc...

 

HELP me I am in the dark on this...

ed I had the exact same problem. I fought with the damn thing for a week before I took the fixture apart. My reflector was touching a wire and shorting out. Just a thought you should think about.

Cheers
