hydrofarm 125W compact fluor issues?

I have a couple of these set up with an aluminum wing reflector. You can see the bulb here and the wing reflector looks something like this. (Note: neither of those are where I got my lights and reflectors.)

I usually run them on a timer. One of the bulbs that is only a month old just sizzled up so now I'm worried about leaving these on while I'm not home.

I'm thinking of switching to T5s now, or if I have to, back to T8 tubes.

I'd be curious to know if you have had similar types of issues with the 125W bulbs or the T5 tubes. Please email me if you'd rather not post on the thread.

thanks.
