Greetings
I recently purchased a solis tek 1000 watt ballast. Shortly after I plug it in, and it strikes the lamp, it starts to emit an alternating high to low pitch. It is not very loud but certainly audible. I have tested it in different locations and circuits that can handle the load, and even at another house and it still makes the same noise.
The shop where I purchased it from said this was normal, even though I have read that electronic ballasts are supposed to be completely silent.
My question is to anyone else who is using the same ballast. Do you also experience these noises , and are they normal ?
