Yes they do, the ones here, (that are due for re-lamp), are going a deep pink colour, but a few though are slightly whiter.

I`m sure their the originals, the lanterns, (Vectras), have been up well within 6 years now, and many are cycling, but you can see some heavy pink colours in among them. :D

One of those 50w I gave you should be pink Liam. Some do go pink but I've noticed a lot seem to stay the same colour !
