I have these projectors but my cut off is not blueish, but light yellow. I am using Morimoto 6000 k bulbs what is causing this color problem?

From my experience, the "cut-off" on these projectors aren't really that blue, especially compared to the Mini H1's which use a curved sheild. Changing the bulbs won't help, it only makes your output light blue when the cut-off color comes from the shield. One popular way to get the blue-ish/purplish cut-off is to position the sense further from the light source. With these projectors you can either use a "lens-spacer"on the lens or small washers on the screws that hold together the lens housing. But be careful, a very small adjustment goes a long way and the more color you try and achieve, the more you diminish the total output of light on the projector. Hope this helps!

I have the same results with these. I am running Philips OEM HIDs in these. The general output is great but there is not much of a blueish color at the cutoff if any at all. I have heard of people modding other projectors by bending the cutoff shield closer or farther away to get the desired color layer. However, I have not tried that with these or if it's possible with this model. Good luck on your search for a good mod that will work.

Are your headlight lenses clear? If not that may be the issue. Their may be some light leakage on a yellow or amber part of your headlight as well. Also are your healdight hid or halogen? Halogen will be more yellow

I decided not to purchase this bulb; I went with a Bulbrite LED globe light instead. But....from the research I've done online, 3000K is in the warm range so it should give off a warm, slightly yellow color - as opposed to the 5000 to 6000K light which are cool and decided bluish in color. The Bulbrite light I bought is also 3000K and I like it very much but I prefer the warm light glow as opposed to cool. Hope this is helpful

the yellow/green tint is a known issue with the projection mechanism. mine was fixed under warranty, which was extended by sony for this issue. I don't know if the free fix is still available. if you search your model number a bunch of stuff will come up. good luck!

I did not change anything except the bulb. I seems to be working fine. But the fixture I put these in were task lights and it was a little too yellow a light for me. I came back and bought the bright white.

Mine lost a lot of their opacity since I first bought them (so I'll need to try the recommended "tip-down" method) so my yellow did not show up very well. Mostly because there was not a lot of contrast, and the white board is really only white under very bright lighting.

I loved this bulb when infirst got it but I have a few problems now. If you get the 2700K warmth it does get close to the yellow light of an incandescent bulb. My biggest issues are these 1. They are not all the same color. They have slightly different shades. This is common among LED bulbs. Difficult to notice differences when they are in lamps but when they are in a light fixture spaced inches apart it's evident. If recommend getting a few extra and returning the ones that don't match the others. 2. Mine buzz (only in my pendant like fixture) I changed the dinner but still buzzed)3. As they age: 1 out of 8 have died and 2 have gotten dimmer than the others. I loved this bulb when infirst got it but I have a few problems now.

It is a full spectrum bulb which is bluish. But there is a plastic cover over bulb. If you want a yellow tone you should be looking for incandescent. I am very happy with my purchase since it allows me to work on intricate needlepoint.

In a complete darkness the colors are really vivid for the first 2to 3 days after that the battery is draind and the color is less and less bright. ...one more thing, the size of the rainbow is bigger when the projector is higher (like book shelf... vs bed side...

It is probably the light bulb, which is hard to get to. When my did that I just bought another inexpensive projector. Mine lasted for about 6 years. These are not meant for more than a few hours at a time. They over heat. Also try this, start the video, t.v. or game before you turn it on. Sometimes depending on which device you are projecting, you have to switch the cords around.

More yellow..I put a 200w bulb in and it is works much better in a smaller studio such as mine.

Easy! The bulbs last forever basically, when your bulb starts to go out you will start to notice it becoming dimmer and dimmer. Slap in a brand new bulb and your projector is like new again! Plus its a special kind of high powered bulb.

Mine were yellow lightbulbs.. it's the small lights just above the projector lights in the upper outside corner of the assembly that are in a separate twist in/out receptacle.. They are parking lights I believe and come on with the halos...

I have a completely dark theater/game room with walls painted with medium gray flat wall paint. My screen is a large - 200" diagonal and white. My present Epson 720p projector is 2700 lumens which I set the bulb at normal not eco and dynamic setting without turning up the brightness at all for best picture. 1800 lumens is considerably less than 2700 lumens but if I turn up the brightness will this give me the same quality picture I have now? Thanks, Donn

Sounds like a defect to me. Mine worked fine right out of the box but be prepared for it to have a shorter life than the "official" Epson bulb. I got a little over half the hours I'd get from the Epson version, which is $300 list price.

I am not able to upload an image unfortunately. I do though have one of these bulbs on a planted better system on my office desk. It is a very crisp yet cool white color. The blue tint is not very visible or overpowering and makes the white light appear softer while still showing a crisp white rather than a blue or yellow tinge. You may be able to view my particular system on our company (That Fish Place - That Pet Place) facebook page. I hope this information helps you.

Mine were noticeable more yellow than my other LED's. I would put them at 4500K, I ended up not using them in my parking lights because of this.

when it' is off it is a yellow bulb, When it is is on it is a perfectly hued soft white bulb. The yellow filter just is compensating for the excessively blue nature of typical LEDs. Most cheaper bulbs are too blue.
