did you swap 2 left bulbs and 2 right bulbs?
it might be ballast not the bulb. Also, different types of t5 bulb would have different brightness Which bulbs did u order?

i have a 24 inch 4 bulb current usa T5HO fixture. The new bulbs are 2 blue plus, 1 KZ fiji purple, 1 Blue special, the fiji purple and the blue special are the ones with the problem. half the bulbs are noticeably brighter than the other half its really quite odd.
