Yesterday evening, I was setting up my gear and for some reasons, my Salvo 21W HID didn't strike when I switch it on (for my test before getting into the water) but after a few seconds (10 to 20 ich), it`s striked. Same thing happened when I hit the water. So, what could it be the problem? Globe? Switch? Ballast?

I did the test at home and when i turned it on, didn't strike. So after a few time switching on and off, it striked. So my guess it's the switch. So, where can i get one???

Your thoughts...
 
I did a test last night so I was able to strike it. I decided to unplug the battery instead of switching off it and plugged it again after to see if it's the switch or something else. Since than, it's totally dead :-( Is not looking good and I'm waiting about Corey`s email :-(

After a surgery of the light and a few test, the problem is the ballast so is anybody know where I can find a ballast for my type of light?
