Hi all,
has anyone had problems with the solder/contact on the bulb melting away? the bulb is not blown and this is the second brand new bulb that this has happened with in two months both of different manufacturers. I go and check my babies and there is no light just a buzzing ballast. i screw out the 4 week old bulb and the little blob of solder is gone so its not getting the jolt it needs to fire up. I have wet the bulb(not recommended) and put it back in and this has been working up to now but obviously not ideal. is something causing this to happen and also i now have 2 bulbs with this problem so can i put a blob of solder on them myself? dont want to start fucking with electricity or burn the place down.
Thanks in advance.
