lamp question

viptanner · 03-08-2001, 09:58 AM

I am replacing lamps in my Sun Capsule and fired up the unit to see how my first 4 lamps registed on my UV meter. I was suprised to see 2 out of the 4 lamps have a pinkish glow on the ends thoughout the entire session. I'm replacing Cosmolux 160 VHR 15 with Signature Series 160 watt. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I also have a 56 lamp unit that has one lamp glowing a bright orange on one end. Thanks

well, i cant offer a solution, but i can tell you that you arent alone. we have instantan bulbs in our Sun Capsule standups, and i noticed that a bulbs in one of the units was totally pink! not exactly sure what the problem is, i may try swapping out that particular bulb, seeing if it is the bulb or the unit causing the problem.
