EtOH_is_good Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 i got home tonight and find that my lamp is not on. my lamp has been used for less than 2 months (<8 hrs per day). anyone ever hear of a xm 250w bulbs burning out that quickly? besides not lighting up, how would you tell that the bulb has gone bad?

birdman204 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 turn it off, 20 minutes later try firing it back up, happens to me with my XM DE's about every 2 mos.... Link to comment
EtOH_is_good Posted August 20, 2004 Author Share Posted August 20, 2004 thanks bird. that's the first thing that i did. i've now waited several times and no firing. Link to comment
wbeavers Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I read some where that XM is taking care of their bad bulbs. They have a problem with bulbs going bad to quickly. Try contacting them. They are a new company that is still working out some bugs in maufacturing. Link to comment
skeletor Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 yeah, I read about some bad 10k xm's that turned yellow and went out early over at RC. I think they had a bad batch, hit them up with an email and they should look after you. does the bulb still look ok ? -skeletor- Link to comment
EtOH_is_good Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 marine depot is taking it back and giving me credit. the only noticible difference between the new bulb and burned out bulb is the silver appearing substance near the socket had turned into white fluffy material.
