Anybody ever had a new bulb not light? I bought a 400w Reeflux 10k, installed it on a Cool Touch standard ballast, would barely show a flicker in the inner tube. Don't recall what it's called. So I put it on a new PFO hqi ballast. Just sends a blue arc across the tube but still won't light. Both ballast light the xm bulb no problems. It's about 10 months old.
Retailer said they've never had one not light. Says they're not made for hqi ballast and won't last longer than a month, two at most.
I chose the reeflux because Sanjay's specs. show it to have the same ppfd as the AC 14k. Being that there's not a AC 14 bulb to be found (sure wanted on to) I went with the reeflux.
