Is my light broken?

  1. I was setting up my 1000w metal halide light and I accudently plugged in and out causing it to strike and stop. I waited a little bit to let it restrike but it's not turning back on. After an hour of waiting for it to cool it still didnt restrike I notice the contact point where it screws in looks all melted over and brown- not good. I just pulled it out if the box. What I want to know is did I do that or should I be looking for a refund. Other bulbs do work in system, I tried.
    Thanks

  3. I figured but did I do that?
     
  4. More than likely. I pulled the plug on one of my 600hps caused an arc and it dries my ballast.

  5. Thanks, I'll have to be more careful
     
  6. If you’re running a digital ballast turn it all the way down before pulling the chord. Or what i suggest is shutting the breaker down and then unplugging.
