burn in period?

dukes707 · 09/19/2006, 06:03 AM

just curious. i got some brand new Reeflux 150w 10k de bulbs and was wondering how long the burn in period is? they run for 8hrs a day with t5 actinic (39x2) and t5 10k (39x2) supplementation. any info will be most appreciated.

anyone have experience wit these bulbs; Reeflux 10k 150 watt DE? i am running them on a elecronic ballast, and was hoping for that nice blue "pop" that i heard about these bulbs but am yet to see it. they are really bright crisp white, but no blue tint as i have heard. is this only with the 250 and 400 watt ones, or is it really the ballast that makes the blues come out? anyone have pics of their 150 watt RL 10k's?
