[rsantangelo3@co]

my ballaset is 2.5 amps and ive heard ushio req. 3.0amp plus would this have anything to do with it?

They will get bluer as they burn in. i just changed mine out with new 150w 20k ushios and mine did the same. they look good now.

Mh bulbs take at least a week to burn in. I have had 14k ushios and they looked whiter then I thought they would have been. I'm also running a different ballest then you are.

pf0 250watt 2.5amp se. They run to full potential on this? I heard 3.0amp minimum
