I got a 600watt hydrofarms light on Craigslist (used obviously). The light has been fine for the past month, but today when I looked in the tent it was much less bright than it normally is. It still has the same colors, just the intensity has gone down. I had an issue last night where it ended up getting unplugged and replugged in several times in a short period of time; could this have caused an issue?
From googling, it sounds like maybe the capacitor inside needs to be replaced? At first I thought it was the bulb, but from what I've read the bulb changes the light color as it dies, and it also happens slowly; this was like an overnight 60% drop in light output, with the same color
