Has anyone had any experience with fluorescent lighting ballasts? I bought two nice tubes by zoomed. They both work fine in my coralife aquarium ballast, but when I plug them into a home depot ballast (80% less then the coralife, whence the appeal) they don't work.
When I plug in just ordinary home depot grow lights into the ballast, it works fine... WTF?
Do the zoomed lights requuire a special type of a ballast in order to operate? If anyone knows, let me know. I've spent most of my sunday going nuts over this !
Thanks
