Is your tube fully seated? The sockets on either end are designed so that you need to rotate the bulb 90 degrees to lock it in. Sometimes it takes a bit more force than you expect, but still be careful not to break the bulb.
What hood do you have and what sort of timer? Most timers are just on/off devices than cut the power and turn off the lights. If you still have the documents for the hood it might say, or you might be able to find the, on the manufacturers website.
I tried turning the bulb as much as i can and i feel like ill break it if i go harder. i have to hold it so it stays on.i have the zilla slimline desert fixture. i also ordered the zilla power center for the time
