Having issues with Icecap T5 bulbs
I put 8 new bulbs in (4 Icecap 10k, and 4 Icecap super actinic) on the 3rd of May. I have now had 3 bulbs go out 2 10k and 1 Super Actinic.
In the past I have ran URI, and have not had this problem, unless the bulbs are 10-12 months old. I thought the URI, and Icecap were about the same bulbs. I’m running 4 of the Sunlight Tek Retro 48”, 2 bulbs to a ballast. Has anyone else had a problem, or did I just get a bad batch of bulbs?
