BRS,
The Giesemann 17.5K looks like a great bulb based on the customer reviews. But the issue about the proper ballast has me concerned. I use a Lumatek adjust-a-watt ballast with settings for 250/250QHI/400/400HQI. Will this ballast run this bulb properly or will it be "yellow tinged" as some people have observed?

Thanks, John

Great question!
With a Lumatek you will not experience the yellowing of the bulb. We have found these work great with lumatek and Luxcore ballasts. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
