I was not taking it as a put down on Fred's products. I love the HID's!

I was just trying to make sure we are talking about the same thing.

For those in the know, are the ballast's on the Pelican HID upgrade (Fred's) the same as the ballast on the 1st generation?

I ask because I had a complete blackout last night. I turned on the lights in the garage and left the house. About half way to my destination the lights went totally out and then restarted. These are Gen 1 of Fred's design, they were installed by someone else and I purchased them as a complete light set from another member. I have no idea of the quality of the install and did not open them up to look at the ballasts. I do have some experience with high voltage lighting for saltwater fish tanks (Metal Halide) so do understand that there are a lot of parameters in a high voltage lighting ballast.

Now that I think about it, both lights went off at the same time and they are independent systems so maybe it is the switch?
