how long did you wait before you tried to re-fire it?

prosnow · #2 03-30-2006, 04:46 PM

not very long...a minute...maybe...

The bulb will need to cool before it can be re-fired. Try it again in 5 - 10 minutes or so.

alright, i'll give that a try, another question I have is, does anyones mh hurt there eyes? I kind of wish I had a better reflector or something, because the way its set up it hits the corner of my eyes when i'm sitting in my computer chair....its starting to really bug my eyes...

Any super bright light next to your eyes will hurt after a while

Be warned though, if you have a double ended bulb you need to shield it with a piece of glass as it puts out a ton of UV.
