Im having an issue with one of my fixtures not turning on when the lights come on. However if I shut them off manually and then turn them back on, the one fixture operates normally. I use 6 de fixtures in the room. 4 of them are literally the original ones, vertical ballast and I have to use a special adapter to hook them all up together. 2 of them though are newer ones that have the horizontal ballast and two female in/out plugs. One of the newer one is the fixture giving me problems. It started when I increased the intensity. Tried checking the bulb and made sure the power cord is good also. Not sure what the problem is. Any tips or solutions is greatly appreciated.

Have you got a timer or a contacter the sockets. When i first grew with gavitas i ended out blowing a socket afew times. Even had one plug socket completly crack up. I had to fix them and use conactors pluged into the timer. An if you do use a contactor you need to make sure the power rating is right. Have you tried pluging the problem light into a diffrent power socket ?

I have and it works. When i power down the lights and turn them back on they all work including the problem light. So at some point the light either doesnt turn on when the others do or shuts off. I have tried different sockets. The fixtures plug into a big titan controller and then the lights are controlled through the gavita device. The lamp doesn't throw off an error code either. Maybe there is something wrong with power but i dont see how. Tomorrow I will be switch power cords around to see if that helps because I did buy a longer one since the stock one was very short
