VHO tricks?

[czieler]

Is there some trick to get VHO's to stay on all day? Mine seem to shut off at least twice a day...then I have to go move the bulbs around...unplug it for five minutes...and plug it back in.

There doesn't appear to be a whole heck of a lot of salt build up on there...sometimes there is some condensation on them... its just becoming a pain ...

Sounds like a ballast problem.

Do you have alot of things on the same circuit? You might try giving them their own plug.

Yeah ... I used to have it on a power strip...but plug it right into the wall now since I keep having to unplug it all the time...

Bring it in Carol, we'll look at it. It's probably a loose-ish connection that only affects it when it heats up a bit.
