they seem very blue to me, as blue as my 20k's were. will these whiten up with some burn time? they really make the colors of my corals pop though i like that part.
Hmmm. Mine are very white. What ballast are you running them on? Mine are on a standard magnetic ballast. I never really noticed if they start out more blue since I run mine with 220w of VHO Actinics.
I just replaced one of my 14K hamiltons and the new one looks a lot bluer than the other two that have been on for about 4 months so I think they should whiten up.
I am running mine on icecap E ballasts. Side by side with a 20K the 14K where a lot whiter. They do tend to burn in whiter, I would give them a few weeks. Depending upon what you are coming from the PAR on the 250W 14K is pretty much in comparison to the xm15K I had some bleaching due to the increase in par. So keep an eye out. I beleive the par between the 20K and 14K are about the same.
