Just discovered an odd problem that I haven't run into before.
Was checking on my stuff, and to guage the heat of the hood I reached out and put my hand on it...
And I felt a strange sensation - at seemingly random intervals I get a minor shock (it feels kinda like a carpet shock). It delivers a shock once or twice a second I would say.
Anybody ever ran into this before? The ballast and hood are both PL Light systems.
I'm assuming that electricity is jumping to the hood where the mogul base enters the hood.
Anyone think this is dangerous? From my understanding the power delivered to the lamp is high voltage but very low amperage. I only have a week or two left before I finish and plan on replacing the hood then.
Thanks for you input.
