    Default Hamilton 250W 14,000K

    What is the best way to burn this bugger in ? I'm running a magnetic ballast, not sure what type though.
    Check out what I\'ve got on frags.org here:

    I'm using the DE verion of this bulb because I like the blue tint that it gives out. Not sure what the burn in time is on these myself but one of mine is around two months old and the color is finally almost the same as the other side that had a three to four month bulb in it.
    I'm running the ARO elect ballast on mine.

    100 hours or about two weeks if it is normal. I have two Ushio's and they still haven't peaked out yet and it's been over two weeks.
