I really apologize for creating a new thread, but one of my halides have been intermittently failing to fire up. When that happens, you can see an arc of electricity flow through the tube, kind of like those crystal ball things at Spencer's. But it never lights up all the way. This morning, it happened again, so I took the bulb out to examine for corrosion and found a crack on the inner glass tube that houses the gases.
This bulb was shipped and already installed with my SunPod, so I contacted Marine Depot about the problem. Do you think this crack would cause the bulb not to fire up, or could it be a ballast problem? I noticed the times the bulb did start up, if I moved the power wires, it would flicker sometimes. Don't know if that makes any difference ...
