In the bottom section of a sewer filtrate building, 30 MH bulbs less than a year old, went out at the same time. Most of them had broken parts inside the bulb. They are all on one lighting contactor, 8 circuits. The other 60 or so are on different contactors but from same panel and none of them blew, so I don't think it could have been a power problem.
120v and 40' from the floor, so I checked for loose grounded conductors first, all good. Then I went up and opened them up. All ballasts match bulbs, all ballasts correct voltage at the socket. Replaced all of the bulbs and they are working fine now.
There was no lightning, clear weather. Cold outside but about 50 degrees inside.
