Anyoe could tell why i did buy the XM15000k 400w bulb but that seems like still looks yellow but not blue? Is it cause by cheap ballast?or reflector? Thank for suggestion!
Hi bro still remember me? It has nothing to do with your reflector nor your ballast could be your bulb age maybe it need to be replaced

OrSony is right, bulbs that is rated 14-15k are usually white and can be seen yellowish like a 10k color. But it still depend on the brand as Reeflux 12k is bluish.

Ballast plays a part too. Magnetic ballast will have a stronger drive which make the bulb more whiter else a eballast has a weaker drive which make make the bulb more bluer.

So if you want to get a bluer bulb, I suggest u get the Radium 20k, which most hardcore sps users are using it now

My 2 cents
