  Brief Description

  Hi guys my problem is with my light balasts. I have 2x 39w balasts that runs 2x T5 tubes each (in series). 1 light was defective from the begining so 2 lighs was not working so i got a light from Dewald and put it in, now those 2 lights are working but now the other 2 is stufing around. When i conect the power they work for a couple of minutes and then die on me and when i unplug them and plug them back in they work again for a couple of minutes and then die again. Both balasts are conected on the same plug and the same timer.
