Well the new Radium 20K bulbs came in today. At first I thought they were used because of the discolored end in the arc tube but all the photos I've seen look that way too.
They are VERY blue, but so far they look pretty nice. I only put one up to compare so I now have an old 15K a new 20K and a new 10K all in a row and I have to admint I like the 20K the best. I don't have a lot of flourescent life in there yet, but what I have looks SOOO much nicer. I just wish I had the VHO Actinics up to see if I like the 10K + Actinics as much as the 20K alone.
The only thing that worries me is one bulb had what looks like a piece of metal loose in the arc tube. I'm afraid what will happen if I light that puppy. I sent an email to my vendor...Did anybody here ever see that in Radiums?
