Hey all,
Havn't been here in a few months now, was never really a regular anyway.
Still.
I'm start growing, and I still have my 600w HPS Lamp.
I tried to fire it up today and had a problem.
When I plug it in and switch on the power, the box makes a sort of fast ticking noise, similar to a cricket and the bulb recieves very little power (i think?) as it only shimmers faint blue, almost impossible to see in the light.
I know the setup works as it has worked perfectly before, It has just been stored in my basement and only taken out today.
I have taken photos of the setup, I know very little about electrics but can any of you more fluent tell me if theres anything wrong with it? or any tips?
Btw, sorry for huge pictures, I just thought it would be better incase there was a small wire loose and this would make it easier to spot.
And this is the light bulb on, in a dark room.
Thanks in advance and blaze da 'erbz,
