@ged52 sounds like the lamp was not your issue. I would suggest that you check the ballast and maybe can listen closer to where the crackling comes from Post plenty of images with your question so that we can see what you see. Use [guide|21499|this guide] for that. Careful with your ballast, it packs a punch of a couple of thousand volts on ignition.

@ged52 sounds like the lamp was not your issue. I would suggest that you check the ballast and maybe can listen closer to where the crackling comes from. Check the voltage to the ballast. It should be about 280V. If there is no voltage, change the power supply. Post plenty of images with your question so that we can see what you see. Use [guide|21499|this guide] for that.
