Are your XM 20K bulbs single-ended or double-ended? The IceCap ballast is not a good choice for the double-ended bulbs, but should work Ok with the single-ended bulbs.

Is it possible that the color of MH can be changed because of different ballast? I mean..In korea, I use XM10K and electronic ballast made in korea.but I feel it is a little bit yellowish..but My Friend (lives in US and uses same bulb,icecap ballast)says that XM10K is crisp white... |

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
 Ballasts can have a slight difference, Mag ballast tend to look a little yellow compaired side by side with electronics. Also water quality can play a big role in making the lamp look too yellow. |
