I have a luxcore select-a-watt ballast and a lumen right mini pendant (both coralvue products) and what was a brand new 400w radium.
I just tried to fire it for the first time and it immediately tripped the breaker.
The cord from the ballast to the pendant comes stripped and I had to use wire nuts on the three wires (black, white, green). Now I'm no rocket scientist but I assume that you match the colors lol.
Upon plugging in the power supply the bulb attempted to fire for about 1 second then the breaker flipped. Unplugged everything else in the room, waited for it to cool down, same thing happened.
The lamp now looks greyish-black.. I'm assuming this is normal after firing twice??
Is the problem where I connected the wires??
Edit: I have unplugged the ballast from the pendant and left the ballast plugged in (there is no on/off switch on the ballast)
Now the breaker is not flipping.
