But when its off, it sometimes makes regular clicking noises which sound like they're coming from the starter switches. Always 3 clicks, in a click----clickclick pattern!

It could be that the fitting is cooling down. The ballast inside does get hot you know. I had thought it could be that, but (1) it has done it when the unit has been off for as much as half an hour (2) the weird pattern, it isn't a random click, always one click, a second or so delay, then 2 clicks in quick succession...! I'm sure its one or both of the starter switches, I might try removing one and trying to find out which, if it is only one of them. Cheers -- Shaun Robertson Sheffield, UK http://www.srobertson.net |
