HQI Lighting Question.......(Is it supposed to smell)

[jgoldsney]

Well I am slowly but surely making progress on my system....and yes muck I am working on taking some pictures

I have finaly got my MH Lighting working with one small hitch.....when ever it runs the room gets a very destinct smell of Ozone. I have checked my ballasts and the smell is not coming from there. The lighting fixture is one that i got from Dez....It is an industrial strength DIY aquaspace style fixture made out of stainless. It is a real beast but it also acts as an awesome heat sink and even after the bulbs ran for a couple of hours the top of the fixture was hardly warm

Well back to the issue at hand.....I am parinoid about leaving the house with the lights running because of the ozone smell. I have ran them while I was home for 2-3 hours at a time with no ill results but I am trying to pinpoint the source of the smell.

any thoughts.....

Thanks

Joel
