MVB blown already???!?!?

[Moozillion]

I just put my Repti Sun 160 w MVB in a ceramic-based, 11.5 inch wide aluminum lamp. It ran fine for a minute or two, but I realized my lamp was much too high. I unplugged it, took it down while I lengthened the chain it is on, then hung it back up. Now it won't go on at all. I read that even slight vibration can blow out an MVB. Could I have blown it already with just that little bit of movement???!?!??

You have to give it a few minutes before it will work again. Come back in about 15 minutes and see how it goes.

Yeah new bulbs will do this. It has to be because of the gases. Good to hear it's working again
