My ballasts say HID Electronic Ballast. I‘m new to MH. Does this mean anything?
I can‘t find any information on the CoralVue bulb, it appears to be discontinued.
I woud do a search of your exact Coralvue bulb & see if you can find any info on what type of ballast should be used to run it at optimum performance.
It's a long shot, but try shutting off the bulb. Allow it to fully cool & then rotating it slightly in the socket (say 45-90 degrees). Wipe the bulb off to remove any oils from your hands & re-fire bulb to see if it alters the color &/or intensity. I have had to try this with the odd bulb over the years.
Lastly, MH bubs require a burn in period, I think it is somewhere around 50-100 hours depending on the bulb. During this time the bulb may not look the same, but it should still have plenty of intensity. Hope your search can provide some info for you.
