This Happens on my HPS 150 unit when it is warm and then I shut it off on purpose for one reason or another. once it cools, about a minute, it will come on, yes?

try that, and then post

Wait, is this an "all in one unit", in the reflector or do you have a seperate ballast?

I try it. The problem begin in the mornig. I try everything , I suck with it 2 hours, late from job too.... (change socket, change extension cable, wait to cold)
I arrive home since an hour, but the problem still alive :S

I have a separate 150W ballast. I got this one:

The guide say (for the ballast) it works with 20m cable. I use around 10m right now. (just more info)

You know I wish I could give you a better answer, but I just think maybe either of you peices of equipment could be defective. shoot them an email, see what they say.

my best guess,

Check your bulb is secure in its socket.
If bulb was handled or dirty it can easily fail...good luck bro...

Looks like a magnetic ballast so its either the ignitor or the bulb

If it was the main coil you wouldn't even get a flicker

The bulb is fixed. Isnt dirty or broken :S
