I don't know much about Current USA fixtures, but can tell you that I found Hamilton bulbs not that great.

I have a Hamilton Belize Fixture and it came with bulbs, the fixture is incredible, but the bulbs were not... Dim and yellow, I had the 10K's, very yellow compared to others.

So I changed them out for Ushio's, and they are so much better.

It is most likely not the ballast but the bulb's themselves.
