I just bought new balast and bulb for my growroom. I wired the socket wrong way--bulb wasnt very happy about it. Now the inside tube in bulb is black on both ends. Is the bulb going to perform well or should I rather buy new one?
I'd be suprised if it works at all, let alone well. Sorry dude, but unless someone on here knows better, I'd say you'll have to shell out for a new bulb, and consider it a lesson learned; always check your wiring twice before you plug anything in.
