[QUOTE="Dairyspark, post: 392076, member: 19743"] Hi again everyone, I was asked to go look at floodlights at the driving range of the golf club up the road, 6 of 1000w Hp sodium floods, with external control gear. 2 of them are working, 4 aren't, tried a new lamp in each of them but nothing happened, opened up the control gear box and inside is 3 ballast units, 2 capacitors and 1 igniter (I'll upload a photo soon). Measuring with my test lamps ( I'll check with a multi meter later on tonight) I'm getting 12v output from each ballast (230v from the ballast of the lights that are working). Can anyone give advice as to what might be wrong, are the ballast units knackered or is it a new ignitor or capacitor needed? Thanks you in advance Bobby [/QUOTE]
