Hi,
Just have a qn about my CF fixture from Coralife.
According to the stickies, I think that CF are designed to handle around 2+ years of life?
FYI, before I go any further, my bulb is for the quad strip 96W Coralife fixture.
When I have been turning it on recently, I notice at times that only 2 out of the 4 strips turn on initially. It is not until a bit later that the remaining 2 strips begin to work. I am wondering, is this still ok to operate? Or should I be looking at replacing the bulb?
I have been running this for about a year now. Daily operation generally involves 2 "lighting periods" during the day, one in the morning and one at night (the times that I am at home so I can enjoy looking @ my aquarium).
Mainly wanting to see if there is any potential problems, either to electrical hazards, or possible damage to the ballast. If some1 could provide some insight, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
