A way to tell if my halide lamp fired up?

I recently did not put my new halide bulb in correctly on one side and it did not fire up for a week.

I am curious if there is a way to code my reef angel to tell me if there is a completed circuit on the relay for the halide? Or some way to tell if the halide truly fired?

Thanks in advance,

caliman

No way to know...however there is a new PAR sensor and jsclownfish (sp?) made a DIY light sensor that could help.
