So I bought two 12k reeflux bulbs, and I am running them on a Dual Coralvue ballast.

Overall I like the color each on produces and thats where my happiness ends. Basically both produce different colors. One is making a sort of clear crisp white and the other a more blue tint. It is most definitely noticeable and I have asked tons of people who come by to see if its just me.

Yes I have tested it with other ballasts, and yes I switched the bulbs around...so through deductive reasoning I can safely conclude it is the bulbs.

I am not sure if it is just a bad bulb because I have yet to get some new ones...

So next time I might go with some different bulbs....

Try rotating them so that the nipple is facing up or down. I heard/read somewhere on RC that the nipple orientation had alot to do with what color they gave off. I am running a 250 SE but I havent tried this yet.
