I must say shipping was great.. But I put the 10k 250 on and it looked like some one peed in my tank!

It'd have to whiten up a hell of a lot for me to tollerate it.. In fact I'd say it was more yellow/green then when I tried a 400w iwasaki..

I just fired up a 175W, 10000K bulb. Although I don't have much to compare it to, I find it very good. The bulb color is a bluish/white. It does not have any yellow coloration at all. It is considerably better than the older 10000K AB bulb I tried.

it very well could be the 175 ABs are a totaly different bulb from the 250 watt version, and I have not heard much good about the 175 watt ones.

I bought 2 175W 10,000K bulbs. One of the bulbs is really yellow (less than 10,000K) and the other bulb is really blue (more than 10,000K). Both are not as intense (visually) as my Ushio.

Nipple up? Nipple down? Short burn-in?
Has this article proved helpful to anyone? Does it contradict Steve?

Probably not the nipple we would like it to be , but I think it is the little knob on the side of the capsule where it was sealed.

For people with yellow or green coloration. Can you make sure the bulb is burning with nipple in horizontal position.

Thanks
