Re: HID Light Problem

swap the bulbs from side to side, then try the ballasts.

10000K is bordering on the Ultraviolet spectrum. You won't be able to see **** in at night or in the rain. Stick with 6000K or less to get the best lighting.

Re: HID Light Problem

+1. 5000K is the brightest and 6000K is close to it but with a bit of blue. 10K is way too dark I would think (I'm no expert), and might tend to attract popo.


@Avery, yeah switch the bulbs to see if it then starts happening on the left side, and if it still happens on the right side it's either the ballast (transformer) or the power going to it.
