So I've got my light all put together and it has some trouble starting up. The first time I plugged it in it didn't fire it did nothing.
So then I played with the bulb a little inside the socket. It fired up, and ran until my timer shut it off.
But it never fires in the morning unless I unplug the ballast for 5 minutes or so, plug it back in and jiggle the bulb (while the ballast is running) this has been the ONLY way to get my light to turn on.
Is it the mogul socket? Do you think its just getting intermittent connection to the bulb? Can't be, because the bulb stays on for 12 hours, it just doesn't start up again without moving it around in the socket.
This is the lighting kit:

And yes I know its a cheaper setup, but the light works, it just bitches and bitches turning on.
