[QUOTE="Warchild, post: 46613, member: 4"] Yep.... we test tonight, in fact. The [I]first[/I] time you light them off, the lag time to full brightness is somewhat excessive... on the order of 5-ish seconds, thereabouts. However, after that initial lightoff (i.e.: the bulb is already warmed up), it's considerably faster, around 2-ish seconds, or so. Well, I don't think it will hurt the bulb, per say, but I can't help but think we're not making the ignitor happy about a frequent on-off-on-off scenario.... Truthfully, though, I don't think we have enough history yet with these particular HID kits to draw any meaningful conclusions. Still, one has to think the components would be happier if allowed to turn on and remain on. On, you know it! B) And by the way... everyone should give [SIZE=14pt][B]TOYNUT[/B][/SIZE] a big round of applause, because it is HE who has provided me with this HID kit to be experimented with and butchered upon! :lol: [B]Here, hear, TOYNUT!!![/B] [IMG]https://www.cbr1100xxforums.org/forum/images/smiles/clap.gif[/IMG][IMG]https://www.cbr1100xxforums.org/forum/images/smiles/clap.gif[/IMG][IMG]https://www.cbr1100xxforums.org/forum/images/smiles/clap.gif[/IMG][IMG]https://www.cbr1100xxforums.org/forum/images/smiles/clap.gif[/IMG][IMG]https://www.cbr1100xxforums.org/forum/images/smiles/clap.gif[/IMG][IMG]https://www.cbr1100xxforums.org/forum/images/smiles/clap.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
