Radium bulb problemo

[soyadrink]

So my 250w 20k Radium wont turn on since today and it was only running since a month. I replaced it with a 10k ushio that I had laying around but is there anything I can do? or will I have to contact the company and ask for a replacement bulb?

if the ushio is working in the same socket it sounds like the bulb is toast

I would call & see what they say about that, should last a long time are you overdriving it?

I am overdriving. I'll give em a call later today

 

[Scooterman]

If you overdrive they may not warrenty it!

The 250 is an HQI bulb so it's fine to run it at 270 watts (it should be, anyway)

 

[jezzeaepi]

Yah I beleive you are supposed to run HQI with them, so thats just fine.

 

[soyadrink]

I thought so. Thanks for the help, I'll be wanting my warranty
