Broken bulb?

I'v got two 150W HQI-T bulbs that I tried to build a ballast for. When I thought I had it ready I put in the first bulb and turned on power... nothing happened. I tried with the other bulb and it flashed with a green/blue color twice, then nothing happened.

The second bulbs inside turned from beeing clear to beeing all grey and I wonder if that would normally happen when the bulb is first started up or when it dies?

All information regarding this is highly welcome!
 
Hmm... try running it for a half an hour or so (behind a nice strong box in case it blows😉 I remember someone having a problme of the bulb not starting when first tested, it just needed to sit ON for a while...

Cheers,
Alex
