Radiums on Lumatek Ballasts
I just replaced my 4 month old 250w 14k Phoenix with a new Radium bulb. I was looking for a little more blue but was disapointed. The new Radium looks exactly like the Phoenix bulb.
In fact, it may be a little whiter than the Phoenix. If you're looking for a Radium ballast combination go with this. I know the bulb needs to burn in, but I don't expect it to get any bluer. The Lumatek ballasts are suppose to run the bulb to spec and it seems to do a good job of it. Now don't get me wrong, it looks great. Just not as blue as I would have liked.
