Hey Steve
Just went down into the basement and my brand new 660 will not fire. I first thought it was the timer but once I bipassed it only 2 of the 4 bulbs went on. And that was for only 3 seconds.
What should I do?

Has happened to me a couple of times and turned out to be loose wires. First I took mine into lfs and they plugged in and checked for me to make sure it wasn't the ballast.
Thanks Tankster, blew the whistle little early. Was a blown bulb! First go around with IceCaps!

Isn't it early for a bulb to blow, its only 4 months.

Anyone else with experience with the 660, that can give some input as to when to replace the bulbs?
I did notice that the other are looking a bit brown or burnt at the ends.

I have a 660 overdriving two 5 foot T5s. My current bulbs have been running since early June. I am going to be replacing them within another month.
You will get about 9-12 months out of T5's on a 660 provided you keep the lamps cool and use quality lamps.
I also wanted to mention that the 660 has a protection circuit in it. It shuts down when it senses something wrong like a loose wire or bad lamp.
