Complete newbie here, so forgive my stupidity! Recently  (3 months ago) got  
a small tank for some tropical fish. Had problems with the light (5/8"x12" 
8W).

After about a month, it came on brightly when it was turned on but that 
only lasted for 30 or so seconds before dimming to a much lower light 
level. Eventually the bulb failed, so I got a new one (Hagen Aqua-Glo, same 
specs) to replace it, but it's also doing the same thing!

Is there a problem with the fiting? Can something be done about it?

TIA

PS sorry about the x-post, didn't know where to go!
