    started messing with this balast without reading the instructions, thinking I knew which screw was used to regulate current. Well I read the instructions online and I messed with the wrong screw its the one I'm pointing at. How do I fix it guys? [​IMG]I

    That looks like a Meanwell and the SVR1. The Meanwell will auto adjust the SVR1. Try to get it back to the halfway point and everything will be okay.

    If you call Mike at Rapid He'll walk you through readjusting it. Customer service is great there!

    P.S. Don't feel bad I did the same thing but I had marked it so was able to reset myself lol.

    I think I've spoken to him on a sat, but no guarantees, never hurts to call.
