The MegaChrome Crystal bulb is quickly becoming the most popular and successful bulb for metal halide fixtures. Balancing on super bright white light and providing a deep blue coloration that helps the corals fluoresce, giving your corals the best look they can. With a full spectrum, the Crystal bulb is optically white while having a majority of its spectrum in the blue and violet range.

Product Questions
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
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!
