No, why?

The person servicing the light left the cover he uses for testing the fixture on the photocontrol, and it's been there ever since!

Whoooops! Rolling Eyes Laughing. At least it's a new fixture and should be ok. Laughing

Wouldn't it actually be better for the lamp with less starts? Although in 24/7 use does it really matter?
Mercuryvapor123   [Mar 18, 2013 at 05:59 PM]
I would think, I know with MH the instructions tell you to shut off the lamp for at least 15 minutes if it run 24/7 to reduce the risk of catastophic failure.

yeah 24/7 operation is no good for HID. It's good for the PC and the ignitor though lol.

It's a bad idea to let HID fixtures dayburn unless you want the ballast to wear out LOL.

Yeah, the caps sometimes fail when fixtures dayburn. I believe fixtures without caps handle 24/7 dayburning better.
