Help with 250w MH Lightening

[sawillia]

I've got 2 250mh bulbs running on M58s... Moguls

I just replaced the bulbs... That's all I did. The timer is the same. I've waited a couple of days to see if it will burn in but, no joy.


I DIY this setup, I've always used XM branded bulbs from 10k to 25k bulbs. All I did was change the bulbs....

Now the left bulb is flickering... almost like a strobe... It's on and pretty much full power. just flickering...



The right bulb is coming on for a minute or two and blinking off...

Anyone have any ideas. Did I get a batch of bad bulbs?

I can't imagine both the ballasts would tank at the same time.


Thanks for the help... And Merry Christmas

try putting the old bulbs that you replaced back in and see if it still doing the same thing with them
