When the ends of the lamps glow pink, does that mean you need new starters???

Why do they do that?!

SandiGirl · 23rd April 2008, 03:44 PM

AFTER they shut off....not when they're suppose to be on.

HardcoreGym · 23rd April 2008, 05:03 PM

Anyone????????Please

Din · 23rd April 2008, 06:02 PM

It means that the lamp is going to burn out...any day now.

brownsuze · 23rd April 2008, 06:08 PM

The lamps are brand new.

SandiGirl · 23rd April 2008, 06:10 PM

They do it when the lamps shut off. I think it's the phospors. (no reason behind that...it just sounds good.)

brownsuze · 23rd April 2008, 06:16 PM

I swear Charlton told me they do that when they need new starters.

Where's our John from URI??? C'mon hunnybunny, I know YOU know.

SandiGirl · 23rd April 2008, 06:20 PM

It wouldn't fire up if it needed new starters. The starter is done it's job so why would the lamps be glowing AFTER?

brownsuze · 23rd April 2008, 06:24 PM

Should we keep guessing like silly girls? Or just wait for some man to fill our empty bubble heads with their manly wisdom?

~~~hahahaha "essence spray"

SandiGirl · 23rd April 2008, 06:30 PM

Let's keep guessing.

brownsuze · 23rd April 2008, 06:37 PM

Voltage too high!!! YEAAAaaaa voltage, that's probbly it.

Din · 23rd April 2008, 06:43 PM

The muffler bearing is loose and therefore causing the flux of the phosphorus to discumbobulate from solar resistance. Hence the "pink/orange" hue.

SandiGirl · 23rd April 2008, 06:46 PM

Kinda what I said. Sheesh.

brownsuze · 23rd April 2008, 06:47 PM

Caused by pollution in the ozone...

brownsuze · 23rd April 2008, 06:48 PM

I rubbed my lip gloss on the lamp ends...

SandiGirl · 23rd April 2008, 06:54 PM

Gloss cancer.

RobertK · 23rd April 2008, 08:35 PM

If the lamps glow on the ends and take a while to light it may be time for new starters. What bed? What lamps? How many hours on the starters?

SandiGirl · 23rd April 2008, 11:38 PM

How the heck does a starter make a lamps glow AFTER it shuts off?

RobertK · 24th April 2008, 08:27 AM

They are glowing after they turn off? What brand?

Din · 24th April 2008, 12:07 PM

The capacitors hold power and the lamps will flicker sometimes and do like a disco show after the session is done...that's the capacitors releasing the charge it has until it drains all of the power from them. you'll notice it at night when you shut off all the lights to the salon. Once the power is discharged from the capacitors and it drains....it will stop doing it.

That's all it is.
