So I just started using the Mega-ray 100W yesterday. I have it in the Zoo Med deep dome fixture. I know a lot of people use that fixture with the Mega-ray so it should be okay, but anyways, onto the main subject. A few hours after I installed it, when my parents got home and I was out, my mom called me and reported a plasticky smell coming from it. When I got home, it was true that there was a smell like that. It isn't that strong, but you definitely notice it when you're near the bulb. So I am just wondering, is that normal with this bulb? I never had any weird smells at ALL when I used the Exo Terra Solar Glo 125W, so I find this odd. But yeah, yesterday I replaced the Solar Glo with the Mega-Ray and started using it right away, but that should not have anything to do with it. :?
This morning, when the bulb went on, I noticed that smell again. What on earth could it be coming from? This is a bit worrying.
