Radium 20k HRI-TS 150 W, correct model number?

I just want to be sure I have the correct Radium 20k bulb. I ordered a Radium for my Sunpod and it arrived with the model description - HRI-TS 150 W and then it says RX7s-24 Blue (made in Germany) with Radium on the box. Can you check to see if this is what you have? But who keeps an empty box? So I hope a dealer can reply or someone anal retentive like me who does keeps empty boxes.

I guess I was expecting more of a blue color shift compared to the stock Current bulb. Thanks...

Oh, the bulb is only 8 hours old so perhaps I have to wait longer????

That is the correct description code for the Radium 150-watt 20,000K bulb. The lamp should have a noticeable blue tint to it. You should allow the lamp to burn in for 100 hours. Some people have received defective lamps that are very yellow or green.
