Well no, I dont yet :S To be honest, thats not one of my priorities right now: Im using my money to buy a ballast for my new LPS lamp (I will upload the video shortly [wait for it!]) and then I want to get a small 100W MV and the ballast for it that I founded the other day in the store where I got my 1000W MH.
HPS that fires up green and doesn"t warm up to sodium colour and shuts off soon after is a sign. If everything goes well (no arctube failure), the lamp should remain in green glow state longer and longer and finally stay like that without turning off. Green HPS that doesn"t restrike is a very rare EOL mode
Yeah! That´s probably caused by the low vaporization of the sodium because it not gets that hot in the short period that is ON but the mercury and the argon do gets vaporized...
@@thelightingenthusiast Don't know.. I'm going to Barcelona for a year and I don't expect to make trips to the interior of the country before Barcelona... Even if I did, I don't remember the exact location they were on, but I can tell you that Campeche's city center has been getting a full makeover since 2014, so perhaps they are no longer there, or they got replaced by LED :(
