Dave,  Do you know what wattage your power supply is?  That might help me to
know, especially if you're running a 300 w job.  I'm getting e-mails from
others who have also had this problem with the BH6.  One told me that in his
case going with a higher watt power supply did the trick.  I'd just like to
see a trend.

Thanks,
