    New bulb is in. And the blue is bad... A$$!!! I love the blue color. Its not overpowering, just the perfect amount of blue I was looking for. I changed the front 65watt CF to a 10000k and left the back as the 65 watt actinic. I think i may switch the front to a 50/50 this afternoon after class this afternoon since now that the new bulb has fully warmed up it takes away from the blue a little... But i've got an SPS brand 50/50 in my closet thats brand new and i think i'm gonna switch it to that. The picture doesn't do it justice, i'm very happy with my purchase. If anyone is ever considering a higher k rating, i think BLUE IS BETTER!

    Its hard to really see a difference from the photos i guess, and the 10000k cf in the front is taking away from the color a little, but that should be solved when i switch it to the 50/50.
