Oh I see, so you were just curious if it worked and then when you plugged it in and nothing happened you were worried that it may not be working.  I am sure it is fine, you shouldn't expect anything to happen when a ballast is plugged in without a bulb connected.  So are HIDs an upgrade for you or are you adding on?

Those galaxy ballasts are completely silent so you you won't be able to tell if it's on or not unless there's a bulb hooked up to it.

I think we should all start calling it a bulb holder here on the Growery.

It holds the bulb. Any Irish or European websites I was looking at when getting my HPS called them Lamp holders. My mistake.
