xm bulb color

[reefmail]

I purchased and install 2 XM 250w 10000k MH bulbs, one is white and the other is yellow.

Will the yellow one turn white after the burn in or should I return it for another one?

The bulbs have been running for about 16hours and the one is still yellow, I've swaped the bulbs and ballast and the yellow one stayed yellow and the white stayed white.

thanks, John

Id contact who you bought it from first, but it takes 100 hrs for the bulb to burn in to the correct color.

same thing just happened to me... I thought they had resolved this issue.

thanks for the replies, I've contacted the company that I purchased it from to get another one.
