I'm trying to buy a 1000w MH bulb from various sources and every time the bulb comes broken, even though the packaging is great.
Anyone have a similar problem?
Downgrade to a 600w ballast and buy 600w bulbs from one of the 5 Hydro store in your metropolitan area.

is the outside of the bulb still intact ?
and its just the inside insulator that is broke ?
That looks more like a manufacturing issue rather than shipping caused break. I would try one more time to get them from another source. As I said, if you want, I will be happy to get some for you and ship them to you myself. That way I can verify that they are undamaged before sending them out to you. I have never once had a damaged HID bulb in shipping. However, in the mean time, you may have to do something else while waiting for them to get to you
This is something from my local grow store. ...
What a concept! Increase your grow light coverage and transform your 1000W HPS magnetic ballast to burn TWO 600W Sun Pulse digital lamps.
Obviously each bulb will probably burn at about 500W, but when you use this SunPulse Splitter you eliminate the cost of upgrading to a digital or electronic ballast, plus with the addition of one HID reflector and bulbs, you now have 2 complete HID light systems running from your existing ballast.
One 1000W HPS magnetic ballast uses less electricity than two 600W digital ballasts.
A 1000W HPS magnetic ballast may put out less heat than two 600W digital ballasts, reducing heat reduction costs.
When you set up a SunPulse Splitter, you can run both HID light systems side-by-side, or in entirely seperate rooms.
Take a look at 600W Sun Pulse bulbs.
This splitter ONLY works with 600W Sun Pulse digital lamps.
Sorry if I went off-topic. But yes stabilizing the arc tube is extremely important for the spectral output that the lamp can do. Especially if your running full spectrum lamps never run them differently than the manufacture intended. The higher end brands will publicly list their spec sheets on what they recommend in dimming and etc.
