Not easy to get a picture of what I'm talking about, this is the best I can do.



It's almost like ghosting. I can barely see it, but I know it's there. Whatever this is, it's related to the ballast overheating because both issues showed up at the same exact time. I figure something is loading down the power supply, which throws everything out of whack.
