did the shop test the lamp on digi or old core and coil ballast ?
No lightening from what we saw, just a rumble of thunder then off went the power.
The shop tested the bulb on an old non-digital ballast, and it powered up fine.

I can't see the problem being anything other than the ballasts, but the odds on two brand new ballasts being faulty are so high that it's making me question everything else....?
