Ron, the ballasts are and have been on top of the stand. I think before I hurt my head anymore, I'll try turning the rack around. That will determine that it is/isn't the light. I'm ready to order a whole new setup just so I can throw this stuff off my balcony!! :D

It has to be the lighting I think. There must be something we're overlooking here .... What guage wiring are you using?

Tony, I'm using 14ga wire. Same as the side that works fine :roll: I'd like this to be something I'm overlooking!!!

Okay, I think I got it. On the yellow side you have a fan that is either drawing or blowing air over or near the bulb. this is causing the bulb to cool and change it's color temperature.

Bryan, I am not 100% sure but I am 99.9999999% sure Brad hasn't put his fans in this one yet.. no door so no need for fans :D

Steve

Do you supplement with any actinics Brad? If so try changing them left to right. They seem to have a hugh colour variance from old to new.

His actinics are two 4' URI VHO that are aprox 1month old.. theyspan the whole lenge so that isn't it either. :cry:

Steve

Hey Steve, you're fillin' in great!! Just got back from a movie

It is just swamp gas reflecting off venus and creating an optic illusion in your retina causing a refraction of the color rendering optivs in your synapic nerves creating an involuntary loss of color projectionary respose in the cerebral cortex causing you to see this pshycological phenomonononmonoom................. :D

The only thing I suggested to Brad is that Ushio changed their bulb design slightly.. Apparently this is not true.. From the looks of things, the bulb is getting more and more green/yellow too, so I guess the mystery goes on.

I think Fishgeek is on to soemthing! lol :lol:
