I am trying to troubleshoot a high-pressure sodium vapor lamp which does not light, in spite of there being 120V AC available in the socket and a new bulb installed. Posting a pic of the ignitor to A.B.S.E showing the two components with which I am least familiar, and which I suspect may be at fault. Please, any input or advice is solicited. I can replace the lamp easily enough, but would rather fix it if I can just for the satisfaction of doing so. I am seeking info on the semiconductor (NTE6419) device which appears to be open, and the cylindericle device to which it is attached, which measures 1.08 H with my LCR meter, and totally open between the two end-pins with my DMM set to Ohms. If you have anything to offer, I ask for it.
Many thanks,
Dave
