same bulbs, different light....


I have 2 all glass 36" 100w CF fixtures.

Both use dual 55w bulbs.

All four bulbs in question are 6700k.

One fixture puts off a distinctly bluer tint of light than the other.

Could this be because one set of blubs is older than the other?

If not, any ideas what might cause this?
