Okey, we decided to be really brave (or stupid) and let it blink a while (no reflelector or lenses)... it stopped blinking after few minutes and the it was all ok again

It still does the pink blink blink in the first few minutes, then it stops it and works normally. Haven't tried it in a long run yet as I am still trying to find the optimal positioning for the lightsource :\ Regards HB

Make sure when you turn any mh light on that it warms up first before turning it off, leave it running for atleast 15mins or you will damge the bulb and take away its life considerably. MH bulbs are designed to be run at 10hrs at a time, and are rated their lifespan at that rating. Shorter running times shortens the overal life of the bulb. Turning off a mh bulb that hasnt fully warmed up may cause it to nevar start again, cruser has had this happen to him along with a few others. I test my gear with the bulb running no less than 1hr, ( unless a considerable failure happends, ie: a condenser exploding), in most cases its never less then 6hrs. Trev |

Today I finished the lightbox (made a topcover for it) and removed the spoon-reflector.
Then I ran it for about one hour. Using a tempmeter, the lamps temperature wasnt exceeding 70 degrees centigrade. It didnt turned red, and was bright as hell
