Just a quick update for everyone. My friend's MH setup, which is identical to mine hasn't been firing.
So I took my whole setup to his place to diagnose the problem. The problem was solved by sanding the contacts on the bulbs to ensure a better connection.
On another note, we compaired the color of the two 14K ARC bulbs. Mine has been in use for about 12 days while his has anly a few hours on it. Mine is very much whiter now that it has been burnt in. I may add some actinic after all.
