Lights? Ballast?

I purchased a brand new Aqua-medic 250W double-end fixture, and a Phoenix 14K bulb. About a week after I started running it - it seems to have lost intensity; only half as bright as it was new. I ordered a couple more bulbs, but in the meantime - does this sound familiar to anyone??

 

Thanks,

bob

It does take them about a week to settle down to the designed color rating. Did the color shift to more of a blue then it originally started at? The shift might appear as a drop in intensity.

You might have it there... it did shift to a darker blue. Strange though - after a week or so, it now seems brighter again. Still going to change the bulb and see what changes, and when.

 

Thanks,
