Cool

that'll cost me.....


i see the need for a spash guard under my lights..... the metal halide bulb on the left side of the fixture was working fine yesterday, but today it didn't light up. i unscrewed it from the socket and found a small section that had cracked from a water spot.
i ended up replacing the bulb at a cost of $120.00. yeeeoooowch!
but the ushio bulb has much more white than the remaining original bulb on the rightside. so next payday i will replace that bulb with a ushio as well.
