My 175DE 14k just arrived - fired up nicely on my 150de ballast (was 99% sure it would). Nice color, bit yellow for a 14k but no complaints for an 12$ bulb.

So I retract my previous statement about him, must have been the language barrier...

I'll bet its yellowish because its not running at the wattage its rated for.

Steve: while the overall light is blue - quite typical of 14k, there is a bit of a yellow hue noticeable, almost like throwing a 4000k pc in a fixture with a 03 actinic, light overall is blue, but you get this hint of yellow.
