Maybe if you try and use 400 watt bulbs in a 600 watt ballast or something, but otherwise no.

Possible oil on the hands?

Possible oil on the hands?

yeah, definately check for that next time if you haven't already. i blew a mh and an hps bulb, both 400w, because i touched the glass with my hands. now i use rubber gloves.

I always clean my bulbs and use disposable white gloves or a clean towel. Any oil will may cause problems. A clean globe is a happy bulb, but will admit I have installed a few hundred industral bulbs and never had a problem. But on my own systems I always keep it clean and oil free. Note MH bulbs if the outside globe is broken never use it. It puts out UV and will cook you skin eyes, and plants. The vicor glove stops UV from being emitted.
