I am having some problems that maybe the collective wisdom of the group will be able to help me with.
I have a Hamilton 400w MH ballast that works perfectly, unless I try to turn it on with a timer, X-10 specifically.
The ballast has a standard single throw push switch and I can turn on and off the ballast with no problems this way. If I hook it to a timer, it will of course power off when the 120v supply is cut, but when the timer turns back on, the ballast won't start. I have push the switch to off then on back again to start the light.
Any ideas how to fix this? The other 2 icecap ballasts come on just fine when the timer switches them on.
