    Could just be shock from the light change. How long since you changed?

    Probably just the shock of the light, i wouldn't worry much yet. I assume 2x 250 mh's? What k? It's possible some of the difference is explained by the colour of the lights. If the new bilbs are closer to 10000k and the old ones closer to 20000k then they would have looked bluer under the old lights.
