Wondering if I wreaked my bulb?

[mark]

If you turn a MH bulb off them back on after a minute, does it hurt the bulb (250W 14k Hamilton)?


For some reason the timer for the MHs and fan didn't turn off this evening. I turned off the ballast, unplugged the timer, plugged it back in, reprogrammed (timer should have been off) seemed fan wasn't on so turned the ballast on. Go upstairs (tank upstairs, timer, ballast and fan downstairs) and find one of the two MHs on.

Looks like the timers toast and though will find out tomorrow, wondering now if I lost the bulb.
