I can't tell you if your wiring is correct because I can't wire a coil and core ballast, but I will say I strongly recommend finding out from someone that does know, before you turn it on again, ie don't try and work it out though trial and error. I had Problems and whilst trying to figure it out I blew up 2 bulbs. Theres quite a bit of information and debate about that type of wiring with the coil ballast with capacitor and ignitor in the "Eyebaths Lighting Thread" in this forum which may be of help.

Any luck yet andy? I have had the same problem once or twice, but no damage to my lamp as of yet. Have you contacted the electrician who wired it?
