I personally use a Hamilton Belize fixture. But I can say these bulbs work great with Hamilton and their electronic ballasts. I hope this is still the case in 2-3 weeks, once the bulbs burn in.

Usually I have found bulbs to look like crap then get better with burn in, nice to have a great look right out of the box for once.

Changed my old bulbs out this end of August.
I have a Coralife Aqualight Pro 250W MH fixture.
So far I still like the new Artemis 14K bulbs. Very crisp. Not too blue, but day-light crisp and bright.
So waiting to see how long they take to turn colors to a different spectrum, if at all...
Like everyone said, they are cheap enough to be replaced every 6 months or so if necessary.
My corals seem happy enough. Lots of new growth, and great colors.
Definitely needed to properly thank The Grizz for sharing that info this Spring, or else I'd still be paying $80 or more per bulb!

Thanks, Greg!
