Troubleshooting
Lamp does not light up
Verify that the power supply is connected and the voltage is within the 198-264V range. Check that the T5 lamp is correctly seated in its sockets and is compatible with the ballast's wattage range (14-35W). Inspect wiring connections for looseness or damage.
Lamp flickers or flickers on startup
Ensure the lamp is properly seated. A flickering lamp may indicate the lamp is nearing the end of its life or is incompatible. Check for loose electrical connections to the ballast.
Ballast makes a humming noise
Some low-level humming can be normal for electronic ballasts. However, loud or excessive humming may indicate an installation issue or a failing ballast. Ensure it is securely mounted and check for any vibrations.
Unit overheats
Ensure the ballast is installed in an area with adequate ventilation and is not enclosed in a way that restricts airflow. Check that the connected lamp's wattage is within the ballast's supported range (14-35W).
