Thread: Time for Bulbs (or Ballasts)!

    I need 400w E-Ballasts! Lots of 250w options, not many 400w (120v) options. Anyone w/400w E-Ballasts that can offer suggestions?

    I really liked the ones below in the past when I had them. I've been running ARO's since switching to 250 watts but that was because it's what they came with. I think I'll be selling my current lighting and buy these in the 250s and use them with the DE bulbs and lumenarc pendants. I just need to see if then Lumenarc comes with the glass in place or at least set up for it to be put in easily (glass is cheap). If not possibly use these new pendants and see how they work out since they are built somewhat to the same style.http://www.hellolights.com/25lumax3hqip.html

    Sorry Steve all I have is 175 and 250 Coral Vue Ballast and Reeflux lamps. But I have been pleased with these two sizes. In both of these when I use electronic ballast the lamp puts out 25% more light.

    Ok, I'm thinking of moving all 6 MHs to 250w E-Ballasts and DE bulbs

    I have asked a few vendors for their best price on:
    - 6 ea IceCap 250W E-Ballasts
    - 6 ea 250w HQI DE sockets
    - 6 ea 250w Reeflux DE Bulbs

    Any local vendors out there want to make a quote? PM me

    Anybody interested in buying four 400w and two 250w magnetic ballasts? I'll make you a good deal!

    I would think with that change you will see a significant change in your electric bill. :w00t
