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!!

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

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

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.

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.................

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
