    This one has me confused.



    I had 1 8ft fixture and 2 4 ft`s in my garage.



    The 2 4fts didnt always start so I went shopping today and bought another 8 foot unit.



    Well now my new one starts like a champ but the old 8ft takes 2-3 minutes to warm up to start. If I disconnect the new one the old one starts like a champ. Its almost as if there is not enough power to fire up the ballast.



    I have 2 110watt bulbs in the old fixture and 2 75 watt bulbs in the new light and thats on a 15 amp circuit.



    Anyone have any ideas? This one has me stumped

    Uhh are you sure you are using the right light bulbs? 110w is a LOT for florescent bulbs.

    Yep. I just checked again. They are dual 110w bulbs. (120volts)
