If I figured this right at 5k hrs that bulb was done long ago. That many hrs is equal to 208 days or 6.9 months. When I ran bulb type fixtures I’d replace them after every two grows. Now leds only. But in short ive seen them explode mainly from oils from my hand or something. Sometimes a large group of ladybugs would fly into It a d smell like shitty bba as well.

Funny ya say that this light cooked a beetle a little while ago stunk like we'll you no maybe it was that and I replace globes after 4 grows just pulled 3 a light with that globe of 1 plant and that was 4th time running it thought these were supposed to last a bit longer still 98% at 5000 and I think 96% output at 10000hours
