Default Re: Metal Halide bulb question.

Is it a Mogul base or HQI? It's always a chance buying items cheap that are "new." I would imagine the only true test is a reading of the color temperature. For the most part, they will start looking pink towards the end of their life.

Although, a cheap product may not show a true reading after the break in period either.

Spend a little more, get better quality, and buy from a reputable source.
