• The MG light fixture has stopped turning on.

  • Jennifer5784

I bought an Atman HD-150. The igniter is powered by a ballast for MG and an unknown type of electronic ballast, with inscriptions that are either in Spanish or Italian. After receiving it, I checked it several times - everything was fine. But as soon as I hung it above the aquarium, it would turn on and off intermittently. The electronic ballast only makes a buzzing sound, and nothing lights up in the lamp. I can't figure out where the problem is. Either the lamp has failed, or the electronic ballast, or the ballast itself. Maybe someone has encountered this issue and can help me, please.

What does "it will turn on sometimes, sometimes not" mean? The break between turning it on and the next time it turns on should be about 5-7 minutes. That is, if you turn off the light fixture and immediately turn it back on, it should not turn on.

I know that it needs to cool down before the next turn-on. It might not turn on at all, but after an hour, if you try again, it might work. What I'm most interested in is whether the lamp can somehow affect this.

I didn't understand anything. In what cases does your lamp not turn on? Does it turn on after cooling down?

often does not turn on

So something is wrong with the throttle.

Should the choke be checked? Is there a way to test the IZO? Could the lamp be the reason for such operation? It seems that the IZO is not providing a high-voltage pulse. Could it be lacking voltage?

This is a common issue. Remove the capacitor from the circuit with the lamps. Everything will work flawlessly.

There was no capacitor there.
