My 400w Reeflux lamp has just turned a red/pink colour and now looks unmatched with the other ... does this happen alot? and why would it do this
Bulbs arent that old so cant replace them just yet

I've always found the reeflux lamps a little pinker than other lamps. I'm sure I remember looking at Joshi's (?) spectral graphs and seeing that they do have more red than most other 10K lamps.

i had one do that after about a months use,im sure quigs has had the same happen too.one of the new ones recently purchased turned out to be blue,so perhaps the quality control is not up too scratch on these lamps.would be interested too know where these lamps are actually being manufactured at present,anyone know?.

The last pair of (new) Reeflux 10k I bought where very different in colour but after about 4 weeks they burnt in very similar, how long have you had them, if they are fairly new maybe one has burnt in but not the other

There about 3 months old now ..

If its been a stable colour for that long before shifting I would say a componant of the gas has burnt out

Pros and cons of any bulb ,Have to say we run them in the shop and will go as far as saying there a top bulb and corals seem to love them as i do .
