Default stock ballast or upgrading to 50W ballast? If upgrading to 50W, go with a higher temp bulb

like 8,000K. The 50W drops the color temp. Madman runs 10,000K w/50W ballast and it's significantly whiter/blue than my stock ballast w/ 6,000K bulbs.

Default I don't notice that much difference, but most people say you will lose some output.

At some point I'd love to have higher wattage ballasts, so that's partly why I went so high when upgrading the bulbs, so if I do get new ballasts the color temp will settle down to something like 6000K maybe.
