difference between the two when only one bulb is replaced.
Explain to the customer that in situations where only one bulb is replaced:
^ There is a perceptible color difference for the first 100 hours when comparing new bulbs with those that have been in service for some time.
^ Once this "breaking-in period" has passed, the color becomes bluer and resembles that of the older bulb.
