I just bought 2 new 175W XM 10k bulbs. I burned them in for 2 weeks, and I dont like the way my tank looks under them. I was hoping I would, But I dont.
I paid $118 from hellolights 2 weeks ago. As mentioned, they have been burned in for 14 days 5 hrs. per day (70hrs).
I would like to get $100 for the pair. Im gonna go back to the 15K's.
Thanx.

Are these single end bulbs? And do you have a pic of them?

Thanx! I will contact them. I dont know if this would fall under their guarantee, as there is nothing wrong with the bulbs, I just didnt like the color.

These are SE (175W only comes in SE) I dont have a pic, but I guess I could take one. They look like all other SE bulbs :)

Worth a try Matt especially if you are going to exchange for 15K's.

Matt, if you can't trade them back maybe I will buy them from you. I have to double check, but I'm sure my balast will burn those lights.

I spoke with Hellolights and they are gonna take them back, I just have to decide what is the right bulb... If I do decide I need to sell them, I will let you know.

No problem, at least this way your aren't losing any money and getting the lights you wanted.
