    What size lamp? FS2 is only good for 20 watts I believe.

    If it works for a while, say a half hour or so, then goes off for a while, the ballast most likely is defective or the thermal protector is defective, or the ballast heat cannot escape.

    How often does the lamp go on and off?

    If it is more frequent, the ballast may be fine, and there may be a loose connection in the power feed, or at any connection at the lamp sockets.
