    Default Broken bulb?

    Pretty sure this bulb is screwed, just wanted validation before I get on to him. Its brand new, only came today and it was like this straight away. Is it totally knackered heat/power output wise or just discoloured does anyone know? Save the aggro of getting it replaced. There are marks on the bulb too.

    Personally wouldn't be happy with that, I'd send it back and get a replacement/refund.

    Haha, well it'll give the seller a laugh. Just googled dual spec and they do have different colour bars. Definitely learned a new lesson today.
