Bulb Problem
Hey now I just got 2 175W 10k Ushios from hello lights but I put them in and they only run for about 30 seconds than shut off My old 20k Hamiltons run fine. are the bulbs messed up or are they not compatible? Its a 175W x2 PFO fixture they are the same base also

Maybe bad bulbs, but you could ask in the equipment forum. There are more lighting experts there.

make sure they are on a outlet that has nothing else plugged into it on the whole circuit, like in other rooms on that circuit.
alot of times when a ballast is starting and it senses another draw of current it will shut off.
