uhuru Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I just bought a used 250w aquaconnect SE bulb from someone on RC. I got it today and the very base of the glass has a black ring halfway around it, like it was burnt. Is this normal wear for these types of bulbs? I can't test it because I don't have a ballast for it yet! Anybody local wanna test it for me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I have had a few that came with the burnt mirror ring around the glass above the threads. They worked fine, but I always wondered why they were that way. It was with 250w BLV's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhuru Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 I just got a reply from the seller saying they came that way brand new. weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Could just be from testing at the factory. I've gotten 70w MH DE bulbs with burn spots on them brand new as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
