Cloudy bulb

tyepoe · Feb 27, 2015

Im using a solis tek 1000w dimmable ballast with a Ultra Sun 1000w bulb. After day 1 with the bulb in it has turned cloudy. Is it about to bust? Will it burning out in my fixture mess up the fixure, or is this normal for some bulbs?

I have a solis tek bulb, but was wondering if its ok to keep this bulb in that seems to be burning out

I can post a pic tomorrow but its just all white. It was perfectly clear the day before but today it looks like the white filament shit sneezed its white powder against the sides, inside the glass. Its burning normal / performing normal right now...

Yeah, not normal it should be clear so you should try to return it or exchange it.

for sure, would it mess up my fixture if it burst or went out? I have a solis tek ballast so im not worried of a fire since that ballast should recognize and turn off
