Whoaaa... Most of that went right over my head. But I was able to pick up 
that they're not alike since Triton's are bluer and FS are redder.

True.

<<Unless the 
GE bulb you got is already used and dropped in intensity.>>

I was assuming that since Tritons lose only 10% of their output then the new 
C50 that I got should look no brighter than my old "re-labeled Triton" aka GE 
FS.

That's what I thought too. But I just wanted to make sure. Thanks everyone 
for your replies. I've decided to take back my Tritons to my LFS and I should 
get my replacement by tomorrow.
