MV Bulbs and Lamps

johnie Dec 19, 2003 08:18 AM

Greetings all. A question for those using MV bulbs. I am using Capture the Sun bulbs and Zoo Med Brooder Fixtures. All are working well, except for one. The one light flickers on and off throughout the day. It will be on for 1/2 an hour, then off for 3 minutes. On for an hour, the off again. It seems to be getting worse. The bulb and fixture are both about 3 months old. I have a feeling that the problem might be in the fixture. Has anyone else experienced this flickering on and off throughout the day?

Thanks for your help.

Rob

some have but you should make sure it isn't from vibrations becuase they tend to do that when shaken lightly. try contacting the manufaturer about it and see if they can help
