Hamilton?

Hamilton?

I have Current 10K 250W bulbs now. The new Hamilton 14K 250W replacements were delivered today. I can send you before and after pics. With my Current 10K's the GSP are barely aglow. THe guy that sold me the GSP has Hamilton 14Ks and they were on fire (green fire that is). I hope to have similar results.
