I would check if the contacts in the lampholders were ok by using another lamp. If it works with another lamp I would send the arcadias back.

All m.v lamps are handmade and variancies are very common. They will all take a few mins to fire up and reach full output, I'm afraid it's a limitation of the tech.
But unlike some brands we offer a no quibble full 12 month guarantee. So your protected whatever John
