Ya, that's my guess too.

New bulbs could help, or make the problem worse.

If your bulbs are old, and/or you were running them for longer then normal, that could cause a bleaching problem.

New bulbs will be brighter. With little zooxanthellea left to protect them from light damage it could cause them to give up the ghost. If you do get new bulbs, you might want to reduce your light cycle even more, or raise your fixture up until their color starts to return, then slowly go back to normal.

I'm sorry to say but I don't see any truly healthy corals in those pictures. Extremely pale and bleached looking corals. Pale colors are from too much light, and/or too little bioload-feedings....

Yes you can experience a tempory growth spurt when corals are put into this environment but soon they stop growing and things go down hill.
