PC questions please read

[teog]

I just bought a used CSL 2x96 pc kit. When I opened the box one of the bulbs were broken. So I tried lighting the one good bulb with out success...my question is does anyone know if you can light just one bulb on the CSL 2x96 retro kit?

I belive you have to have both of them in for the ballast to fire. I belive they are wired in series.

It depends what type of CSL 2x96w you have. One has independent switches on a ballast - so it's okay to just run a single bulb. the other has no indepedent switch. From what you said sounds like the 2nd one. A friedly suggestion is to clean the rubber end caps real good, i had problem with one of them.
