Bought a htg 400w hps light hasn't even been a week and it quit working. The ballast is buzzing when you turn it on and the bulbs not firing. Bulb or ballast?

bulb prob id send that bitch back if u can
I would highly recommend unplugging the power strip from the wall or whatever power source it's plugged in to, leave it unplugged for 30 minutes or so, and re-ignite the light by plugging it in. Also, if you have an ajustable intensity ballast, I would recommend reattempting to ignite it after adjusting the intensity.

I tried unplugging it for a while like you said and that didn't work. Its a magnetic ballast the htg supply one. The ballast comes on just the bulb never lights.
