Need some technical assistance folks. My 21w Salvo HID flickers for approximately 10 seconds every time i turn it on before it goes to a solid beam. Any ideas of what this could be an indicator of? Bulb, ballast and chord were done by Cory at Light Monkey in January of 2012. I can upload a video if people need to see what its doing. Many thanks!

Its an indication that it is a HID light.

Thats what they do. Nothing wrong with it..... well nothing that can be fixed. Its just warming up.

how looks meniscus in cold bulb?

check contacts between bulb and wires (maybe contacts not fit tight)
