CF lights fade in?
Hello everyone,
I'm usually still in bed when my tank lights come one, but this morning I wasn't. And when they did, I noticed that they seemed very dim. Slowly, they got brighter. I'm a bit concerned that the ballast is going south or something. It's an AH supply kit with a home built hood. 2x55Watt in a wood enclosure that's really well ventilated - the top is mostly open. Nothing bad has fallen in or anything like that and everything else seems ok. Is this normal? -- Ross Vandegrift "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell." --St. Augustine, De Genesi ad Litteram, Book II, xviii, 37 |
