Purchased a 48" JEBO uni-strip light fixture which included 2- 65 watt 21" 4 straight pin bulbs. I'm hyped - nice simple fixture, just what I needed or so I thought.
The light was delivered but when removing it from the box I noticed both tubes were broken on the ends not connected to the wiring.
Simply figured that during shipping the 2 bulbs kissed each other as there was no foam protecting the tips. Wrote the company I got the light from and they sent 2 replacement bulbs, same brand, same wattages.
Got the new bulbs today, plugged them up, turned the light on and noticed wired ends came on (not the full length of the bulbs) - then both lights went out immediately. Did a close inspection of the tubes and noticed the exact same breakage pattern as the original set.
Can anyone five me some suggestions on what can cause this exploding tip problem or have experienced anything like this?
TIA
