Power compact question....


Someone refresh my memory, please.
Don't new PCs take a while to light up? I just got new bulbs and the Actinic is only lit on one side while the Daylight hasn't flinched.
I know the fixture's ok.

Agree with the others. Sounds like something is amiss in your set up. Shouldnt be like that

Bad bulb I guess. I have the older one in now and it did fine.
