Help with lighting please

I just purchased some new MH bulbs and I am having a problem with one of them, it come on and stays on for about 30 seconds and turns off, about 2 minutes later it will come back on and go off again. I swaped out the bulbs thinking it was something wrong with the balast, but it happens to the same bulb on either side.............whats going on???

Bab bulb? Sounds like a heat issue to me with the bulb itself. I would get it swaped out.

what brand of bulb

I had the same problem with my Reeflux bulbs. I also thought it was my ballast, or maybe even the controller. New bulbs solved the problem.

Return the bulb. It is bad.

Try swapping the bulbs to each others sockets and see if it continues. If so it's the bulb....if not it's prob. the socket. Most likely it's the bulb.
