I want to ask a question; how often do the new bulb get through with a cracked arc tube (not just automotive HID bulb - any HID bulbs in general)? I have noticed this on my modified HID spotlight right after turning it off - the crack was very hard to see, which is only apparent and easily noticeable when the arc tube itself is at 800 - 1,000 degrees. I was wondering how common is it that the bulb occasionally leave the factory with a dodgy arc tube.
I will relamp my DIY spotlight soon as I don't want it to blow up on me.
