Is there a break-in period for PC bulbs?
Hi,
I just got 2 replacement 55W PC bulbs from A.H.Supply. They lit up, but don't look very bright - I could look it directly, and it is visibly less bright than my old bulbs, which are too bright for me to look directly. I don't remember my old bulbs needed a break-in time. do PC bulbs need it? how long before they will look normal if they do? thanks, Jason

Something's wrong then. Check for wiring/underpowering of the lamps.
