I had the same problem and then I figured out that the Artemis bulbs are shorter and weren't making the contact they needed to in my lights. I tried the 150W and the 70W MH bulbs and both are a bust. When I e-mailed them, they told me that I must be mistaken as no-one else had a problem.
Gone back to the plusrite's form LSE on E-bay. Great bulbs for a great price.

we retried the artemis MH bulbs.
We had to adjust the contacts and even sand a little the ends! now they work!  sadly during the manipulation on bulb fell and broke...

I bought a 175w Mogul Base MH ( Artemis). At first it looks awesome but i notice after maybe 3 months it started to be a little bit dim.
But no complain when i pay $22 bucks including tax and shipping i know this thing is not going to last. By the way i was using a magnetic ballast, basically its an old MH ballast.
