I have two ARO LN-250-02 ballasts.
One was driving a Radium HRI-T 250W/230B/E40 Blue bulb
The other a Iwasaki MT250DL-E39/41R bulb
I decided I wanted to change around the lighting and swapped bulbs between the two fixtures. But now the Radium won't ignite with lights-on from the timers and I have to manually cycle the power a couple of times for it to light. Then everything runs fine.
Do individual ballasts of the same make/model have different personalities?
The bulbs are getting near time to replace - could I have traumatized it in the transfer to make it more difficult to light?
Suggestions?
