pc bulbs burn in?

[Willow]

do pc bulbs need a burn in time? i just plugged 4 new bulbs in and it looks like one of the actinics is only partially lit. the end of one of the tubes looks kinda dark, do i have a bad bulb or do they sometimes need some burn in time?

sounds like a bad bulb or bad conection.. unplug the bulb socket from the bulb and re plug it in and try again.
