Sound of a HPS

  1. High buds,

    I just received my very first HPS.
    It's a Philips SON-T PIA Plus 400W bulb.
    I haven't connected yet or anything.
    Funny thing is when I rotate the lamp over it's axle in my hands, I can hear metal touching glass at a certain angle.
    Is this normal?

    I can't see any loose parts inside the bulb or any other damage or movement, but I'm certain something is moving because I hear it.

    So big HPS noob question is, is this thing supposed to make this sound when I rotate it?
     
  2. every hid bulb i've ever played with sounds like something is loosein there.
     
  3. just plug da dang thing in :)
     

  4. QFE! :smoking:
