I picked up an XM 15k 250 w Halide (this is what it says on the box), but the bulb it self reads "250 w 14k Ce"

Does XM not print a name brand on the bulb it self? and 14k on bulb but 15k on box? or did the bulb I get happen to be in the wrong box?

Does anyone else run XM 15k?

Thanks - Nick

This is very interesting cause Xm don't make 14k bulbs ( as far as i know ) is it a HQI or DE bulb? not that it would matter. I am pretty sure its the wrong bulb. here is there website and no where could i see a 14k bulb
