My light has been shutting on and off so I changed the bulb. It is still doing it so it must be the ballast. Any recommendations for a 400W ballast?

Is your ballast overheating and then shutting down?

Is it a probe start or pulse start bulb? Sounds like your ballast is going out, electronic will run anything. Magnetic come in Pulse or probe start
