not sure this is the place, but...

i noticed a few days ago, that my galaxy 1000w switchable ballast, is giveing my light a "flicker". ever so often. i know its not the bulb. i noticed it last week, before i got new bulbs. just every so often, i see a light flicker. whats up? i have had good luck with this brand so far.

problems like this are usually becaus of a week breaker, you probably should try an outlet on another breaker, or switch the week one out.

Dimming on start up normal sudden surge. Randomly not good try to dedicate cirquit.

Uh . . . . what?

Dedicate a circuit... Does it flicker when--Heater/Coffee pot/Hair dryer/space heater -- or other large amp draw appliances are used ?
Dedicate a circuit...
Is light on 120 or 240 branch circuit ? On 120 vac, it could be a loose neutral [white] wire... or where white is shared with other load--fix by dedicating a circuit for grow...and tightening up white...

no. it just started doing it. i have it on a 240v. nothing else is one, in fact, my room, has its own breaker box. its intermitttant. may go a while, with no flicker. then, a twinkle. no dimming, really. i shut it off, hit the reset button, and fired it up. no change. it is not warm. these seem to run cool.

Thought whole house flickered if your dedicated should be fine.
