My Metal Halide fixture (Single DE 250 watt) was working fine yesterday, but wont turn on today. Actinics/fans/moonlights work find. I turn on the MH and all I get is a tiny little pinpoint of light coming from what looks to be a wire in the bulb. This fixture is only about 2 months old.
I do know that yesterday I ended up working an incredibly long time, and no one was home to shut the light off, as its not on a timer. It ran for about 17 hours straight. (the fan was on, so no excessive heat). Could that have something to do with it?
Is this likely the bulb? Could it be the ballast?
Suggestions?
Thanks
