I recently got a pair of 10K blueline bulbs and man are they blue! I was not prepared for the color of these bulbs. I am running 2 175w along with 1 65w blue PC, 1 96w blue PC and 1 65w smartlight. I was told that it may take at least 20 total hours of on time for these bulbs to reach their "burn in" and settle at the color they will ramain at. Is this true? Anyone that is using the BLUELINE 10K bulbs, are yours as blue as mine. i wish I had a pic. I was also under the impression that these lights were more "white".
Oh yeah, they don't look half as bright, illumination wise, as my original 5.5K Venture bulbs.
Any feedback would be helpfull.
Thanks all

Bump and a tag. I'm thinking of going with the Blueline bulbs so as not to have to do actinics, just MH. So I'd also like to know what Blueline users think.
