No Tim was using the IC Electronic Ballast DE , I bought his XM Bulbs from him, never fired on my IC but did fine on my magnetic ballast. He tried numerous ballast before selling me these bulbs. He bought a new IC still no fire. The Xm's have a nice color tone to them more blue than the yellow looking Giessmann's I have.
I was going to try the XM bulb on my Geissmann Electronic ballast, see if they fire on them. Will see...
