1000 watt making sounds?
    #696041 - 11/29/13 06:34 AM (11 years, 26 days ago)

Hey my 100 watt HPS  (I got it from someone who I think made the ballast  - so theres no company name on it) just started making sounds but only the bulb. It sounds like grease bubbling and cackling before it starts to boil and it makes this sound every few minutes and it kinda dims but you can barley notice it dimming. So I was wondering if I just had a bad connection to the ballast or do I need a new light soon, cuz i just got it like three and a half months ago?

so this crackling noise and dimming. is it after the lamp has warmed up and been running for several hrs? is it constant throughout the light cycle?

sounds like your homemade ballast isnt regulating the flow of power very well.  my lights used to dim a little like it was pulsing until I got a nice modern electronic ballast.  better quality ballast will be better stabilized.  :thumbup:

when my lamps first fire they make noise as they heat up. it's nothing to be worried about.

I don't think 45 mins is normal though.
