@ lemon, only way you will find out is by either trying a new bulb with that ballast, or a new ballast with your existing bulb, unfortunately even indi with his DMT cannot see through time and space to what is going on in your growroom

is there any darkened patches near the screwfit end? does it eventually fire up or just stay purple. easier/cheaper to change the bulb first.
yea black stain on glass near screw end and ends of tube inside are darkend.....if its a bulb i can change it tomoz if its a ballast im fucked!!

bulb n ballast 2 years old.

ballast hums whilst bulb glows purple n i swear i can see a few sparks, then it all dies...i rember hearing ballasts do this when bulbs are fucked so they dont blow a fuse.....but this could be a lie!

i assume bulb as ballast is trying to ignite it???
