After those lamps burn-in, 100 hours, they'll lose the eerie blue effect and look more blue-white. All metal halide bulbs require a burn-in period for the color and output to stabilize.

Well if i dont sell em then i guess ill put em back in and give it a try......I bought em because ive heard so many good things about phoenix 14k bulbs. They r just very blue and not bright enough as compared to what im used to...10k ...thx for the advise..i feel better now as 130.00 is alot to pay and not use.
