M80+ROIII+Pheonix= no light??

Purple Haze · #1 04/30/2005, 11:36 AM

Just finished wiring up an Advance M80 ballast (core and coil) to an ROIII pendant using a 14k Pheonix(de) I've gone over the wiring four or five times and even had someone else look at it. Tried swapping COM wires, tried swapping socket wires and I still can't get the bulb to fire. I've verified that i'm getting power at the ballast, the cap and the endcaps but still cant get the bulb to fire. I've turned the bulb around, checked the endcaps and still cant get the bulb to light. I've pushed the bulb down as far as I can get it in the endcaps and the same thing, nothing.

Anyone have any ideas? Unfortunately I dont have a spare bulb to to test with.

Thanks

found my continuity tester and pulled the bulb out, tried testing from pole to pole and nothing...

This is an hqi ballast with core, cap, and ignitor. Will it fire the pheonix bulb? We've checked the bulb and it does fire on another setup.
