I am having a strange problem with my setup.
The timer will not turn the light on. I have tried 4 different timers.
Obviously, I have tested the timers. I swapped these back and forth and they work fine on my other lights. I even bought 2 new ones and they did the same thing.
They are all decent timers, rated for 10A/15A 1000w/1250w. Intermatic and Brinks. Not great timers but they all work fine with my other lights and always have.
The timers work and will turn the light off at the proper time but they just won't kick start it.
If I plug the light in directly, it works fine.
This morning, I even pulled the plug, timer and all and plugged them both back in and the light went on.
It's a decent quality XtraSun Dial-a-watt ballast set at 1000w with a nearly new 1000w HPS bulb.
Anyone ever experience something like this?
Thanks
