burn in on metal halide 250 watt 2 different colors.

I have dual 250watt metal halides. 500 watt total. One is a blue color and one is more of a white color. I switched the ballast around to see if maybe it was a weak ballast. They still light up the same. Has anyone else ran into this? I'm guessing the fix is a new bulb and its probably because I'm running these 10 dollar odyysea bulbs.

that would be my guess as well.

No doubt about it!

those lights are a joke, quality control is a huge issue, replace them with a decent bulb and you are good to go.

SE bulbs? Check the bulb orientation. The vent nipple needs to be on the top of the bulb. This can affect the color output.
