I find it funny that during or after the break-in period the buld has shifted to a yellow tint and is not as bright as a new one. Then again maybe there are a 'few' Coralife bulbs in existence that do work properly.

I think I might change mine to Geisemann 13K - I have heard nothing but good comments on these bulbs.

Well, I still am no closer to having a MH that works on my AquaLight pro, I have talked to the Coralife rep in BC, he did fack all, I phoned Coralife direct, and they say that the problem is the "ignitor" and have shipped me the parts, but I dont have them yet....anyone know where an ignitor goes? ie. in the ballast or in the fixture?

I want to drive over this light and burn it.
