i just bought a used outer orbit fixture, its 2 mon old. its in nice shape and looks new.
the light was supposed to come with 2 extra sets of bulbs, but those were a noshow. i had to set up the light on my 55 because my coralife pc light took a crap on me the morning the new light came.
the left side MH bulb is a real light pinkish color, the right bulb is a nice light blue color. i took the bulbs out an they are the same, 14k and the same 5 digit number is on them and they look the same. so this morning i switched the ballast wires to see if it was the ballast. the same left lamp is still pinkish. so tomorrow im going to switch the bulbs
anyone have some input?

im guessing the current usa bulbs that came in the fixture. i cant be certain tho, there is no brand on the bulb
just 250w 1400k.
i tried to match the number on the bulb to stuff online but came up with nothing.
it was 0706 or something.
but both the bulbs are the same. just one is pinkish.....

I would send it in for warranty.
I blew a bulb on my current a month after I got the fixture and the supplier I got it from sent one out immediatly...

i bought it used, so i dont think ill be getting any type of warranty.
if it is a bulb problem for shure, ill just buy the phoenix 14k's
