I am trying to wire a simple set up of two 6ft 70w high frequency twin tube fluorescent lights to be plugged in at a wall socket. These are the type with an electronic ballast/ no starter. I wired the mains cable to the terminal block of the 1st light and then a cable from the same terminal block to the second light. The second light worked fine, however the 1st light cuts out after 30-60 seconds. Afterwards, I tried the 1st light alone but it still goes out after 30-60seconds. I have tried changing the lamps.
Is it likely that I have a faulty unit? Could the wiring configuration I used have damaged the ballast? What is the correct way to wire two HF lights from the same power cable? Any help appreciated, Thanks.
