I have had these two bulbs for about 5 months total. 2 months with lumenbrights and burnt all my corals not knowing that they had to be 16 inches above the water surface. So I went with a diffrent setup for 3 months and back to the lumenbrights but at 16 inches.

One of the bulbs sometime turn on automatically and sometimes it doesn't. When it does fire up the first time I sometimes have to twist the bulb or even move it. I first thought it was the socket so I switched bulbs and same problem with that particualt bulb. Can I return this bulb? Or am I just pretty much out of luck? It has always been doing this since I got it new. Ballasts used are icecaps too.
