The 20K I am running on the electronic ballast produces a nice white light. Just not that intense blue of the one I ran back in the old days.
Im running them with the Galaxy ballast, have tried both settings as well and don't notice a difference but agree that its more white than I expected it to be. I have thought about buying the Hamilton ballasts and see how they look.
