    Default What’s happened to my bulb?

    Hi all, just been in to check on my girls and I’ve noticed recently my 250w MH isn’t giving off as much of a blue/white light as what it used to..

    Took the bulb out to inspect and this is how it looks, any ideas what’s happened? Or has it come to the end of its life.

    How long you had it mate? They do need replacing from time to time though

    I'm sure mine looks like that too (but it would take me too long to dig it out) & mine's fine

    I see nothing wrong with your lamp and I definitely wouldn't say it's been over used . I've ran em for months and months without issues.

    Cheers for the reply lads. I wasn’t too concerned I just wasn’t sure what was wrong with it turning a green colour in the middle lol
