Hello all!

I have an ATI 4x54 Sunpower fixture that half of it doesn't always fire up. It is controlled by an Apex and have tried different outlets with the same results. Some days its fine, others I'll come home with half the lights on, I'll unplug it, plug it back in and they turn on right away each time.

I've checked connections, reseated bulbs, is this a sign of the ballast going bad? Something else I'm missing?
