Thanks John for the investigation into this matter. I was told that when next to a coral vue 10k they were suppost to be blue, and brighter. At polkster13's (coralreefbaazar) house, it was different. He had a reeflux 10k, next to a coral vue 10k, and the coral vue was bluer(?).

I am waiting to get 3 of the NEW reeflux 12k DE MH bulbs and am hopeing that they do not have issues like this as well.
