hi guys probably a stupid question but i'm still a little new to most of this

get home from a night away and one of my 2 hps lights is out. turn off leccy, swap swithch transformoers and the same light comes on.

so gotta be the bulb???????

used it for about 8 months

what you think will get it tested tomorrow hopefully light bulb is fucked and i simply get it changed, timing could not be worse week 5 of flowerng but at least they should not hermie cos of other light.

any comments most welcome ya'all

and as usual many thanks

peace

well i would use a bulb per grow myself as hps bulbs lose lumen output over time 8 months is how many grows?
just get a new bulb - sorted

Anyway will get bulb tested / replaced tomorrow and see what happens
