Lighting Issue: 3 x 250w MH Fixture, one bulb not lighting, replaced ballast,etc.
I have a Current USA fixture running 3 x 250w MH HQI bulbs, and 8 x 36" H T5s...
Previously I had an issue and needed to replace 2 of the HQI ballasts... I bought a Blue Line dual electronic ballast and installed it, and it worked fine until the 3rd bulb stopped lighting... I replaced the bulb to no effect, so I ordered a Blue Line single ballast, and installed that... nothing... checked it, and returned it, got another, and still nothing... Any ideas as to what to try next? Seems there are no shops in the area that repair these things... Debating to go LED instead... thoughts on that would be appreciated as well.
