Starting up HPS

I just assembled my HPS lamp together but when connecting it to power, only thing that happens is the buzzing sound from ignitor.
How long it takes so that the light comes?

Anything else could be wrong?!

Please help... im out of thoughts.

it takes a couple minutes the first time it starts. if it doesn't come on within 15 minutes, there's a problem, take it back.

Well you haven't posted in awhile. I hope you got it working and nothing bad happened.

hes pumped it probably upand running.

nah still not working...only buzzing noise...Im trying to figure out whats the problem..

the buzzing noise is from the ballast i think.r u sure that u got all the parts needed - ballast,ignitor, optional Capacitor ?

Should I really wait 15 mins?
I waited like 5 mins.. and still.. only thing that happens is buzzing noise from ignitor

What is optional Capacitor? and the buzzing noise is coming from ignitor...not ballast.

i had a bad ignitor problem like you do. replace it

the capacitor is optional.....that means that the system should work without it

m ok :/ u sure I should replace it?

Make SURE your lamp cord is firmly plugged into the ballast. Make sure your bulb is firmly screwed in. Is it a 240V ballast that you are running on a 120V circuit? (Yeah, I know these seem like obvious statements, but that's troubleshooting.) You may have a bad bulb. Get another and see if it works. Otherwise the ballast is defective and you should return it. If you bought from a shop, you can take it there and let them check it. Otherwise, you'll have to mail it back to wherever and hope they replace it. Tough luck man.

I have 220V cicuit.
But here's a pictures of these pieces assembled..

Anyone can help?

man the cable with the plug should be puted into the ballast. check your other thread

do you hear me man?
