MH burn out
Just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them.
I recently got some new MH bulbs. They are about 1.5 months old. about 2 weeks ago one just stoped working. I swithed balasts and the other light works so I know its not the balast. I have looked at the bulb and nothing seems wrong with it. The bulb still looks new. Do they sometimes just burn out? |

check the connection in the end of bulb and the socket.. sometimes you can get buildup and it can affect connection
