I never used MH lights before I purchased a Brinks MH light 100 watt yard security light. Just paint the photo cell black. Brinks 100 Watt Metal Halide Area Light (7252) ( I paid 60 at walmart ) It said to mount so that bulb is vertical. However I mounted on a 45 degree tilt to the horizontal. the light comes on fine. but after a few moments the light gets very bright then flickers and almost looks like a HPS for a second.
Is the bulb bad or does it actually matter how the bulb is hung?
Thanks
