wanhunlo Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) Hi. Been using an 125w enviro for 4-5 days & noticed that some of the white plastic around the holder is now scorched is this normal ? or is this something to worry about ,these enviro look a bit on the flimsy side if you ask me beginning to think i should have gone down the HPS route with a bigger extractor. Cheers. Edited July 26, 2006 by wanhunlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate, been using enviros for a little over two years now, and the scorching is normal, all mine have done it, dunno why, coz they are always cool as with my fan running. hope this eases your mind a little.

wanhunlo Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) Iam running lights off in the day for a few hours during the hottest part of the day , max temp ive had was 30 deg , i dont have an osc fan blowing on the bulb all the time as my fan is to powerfull for putting in the drobe should have another tommorow , no problems wuth the bulb starting.

insurgent Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I'd send that pic to whoever you bought it off and ask for a replacement, they should send you one out and then you can send the bust one back - 'cos that is bust. Bulbs shouldn't do that as the carbon that's depositing on that casing has to be coming from somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TightBud Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 are you hanging them vertically or horizontal??? i choose to hang mine horizontal with a reflector as the heat will rise and could cause damage to the inbuilt starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanhunlo Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) No matter ive got a top of the range 250w HPS on the way guess i'l just wait until the cooler weather comes & hopefully my TD160 can cope. BTW they were hung in a reflector & i still say there cheap crap but thats just my view. Edited August 3, 2006 by wanhunlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
