Changed my bulbs on my Hamilton 150 HQI pendants two days ago. I am concerned. The light is very blue which is OK but does not seem very bright at all. Seems to like about the same as my 192 watts of PC actinics. These are Phoenix 14K bulbs so I was expecting more. Is there a possibility that these pendants and ballast just can't drive that bulb? How would I be able to determine that?? Any help would be appreciated.
PS the bulbs had the following printed on them MH-DE 150W 12000K. They were very bright and I have no idea who the manufacturer was on those as I bought the whole pendant ballast combo from a friend a year ago.
