I just dont know what to do with my situation. Not sure if you remember but my 250w radium SE bulb would only fire on when you wiggle the bulb in the socket. Ive replaced the socket with no resolve. Ive replaced the bulb but it seems to be having the same issues. The first 3 days of the new bulb it fired on perfectly fine with my RK2 turning it on. However the last 2 days the bulb needed me to take it down, unscrew it, and wiggle the bulb. Have you ever hear of such a thing? I dont know what it could be. THe ballast fired on the test bulb I used and fires the radium when I wiggle it. THe socket is brand new. The bulb is brand new. Could the wiring on the Lumenbright be stoping the bulb from firing? Do you know someone that might have answers for me?
is there a certain way to wire the ballast to the refector socket? I always thought that wirenuts and elec tape would be acceptable. It just seems so fishy that it fires the bulb with a wiggle, like its ready to go but just cant turn over. frustrating isnt the word.
btw the set up is a 250w radium SE bulb, Bluewave 3 HQI ballast, and 250w Lumenbright SE pendant reflector.
