Hi everyone,
I got this lightbulb back in June to put on my coral QT. I ran it on my QT for absolutely no more than 100 hours, then one day I came home to find it off. It produces an extremely dim glow that occasionally flickers some of the time when you plugged it in. I've got it plugged in to one of these which is working fine with other bulbs I try. The coral light bulb is just... gone kaput. It says it's got a 3 year warrantee so I'm looking into that now, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience or advice so that maybe I could do something and save the hassle.
 
No, get it replaced. most likely bad circuitry inside.
