ballast

600 watt ballasts x 3, 150 mm Carbon filter and 150 mm extraction fan

First time using HID lighting. Just picked up a reflector, 600w MH lamp, and Apollo 600 ballast to replace my T5 setup. Hooked it all up, fired the light with no issue. On closer inspection, the ballast (model # uhps-d600) doesnt specifically say it can run MH lamps. Ballast is making a high...

Hi guys, can anyone tell me if I need a special type of light socket to run a 400v bulb and ballast or can I use my usual reflector?

Hey, I was wondering since the 600w hps with shittiest magnetic ballast is giving too much heat for me to handle currently that if I upgrade to electronic ballast and blast it with 400w, would it make up for it? Since electronic ballast boast they put out "up to 30% more lumens" in theory this...

hey guys I have a question about my set up. I am growing in a 31x31x71 tent using a 600w MH with 600w ballast with settings of 250w, 400w, 600w, super Lumen. Im wondering if my space is too small for my light. As of now ballast is set to 600w. Should I change anything, move plants further away...

Hi, today I came home and my timer thats set on a 18/6 schedule didnt start. So ... wtf must I do for it to work?!?!? I'm using a 400w HPS with a 400w ballast. Here are the stats of the timer : 125V ac. 60Hz 15A resistive 1000W tungsten 5A Ballast please help!

Been reading around and I can't really find a straight answer on this. Now assuming for equal wattage, what's stopping a person from buying one of the socket conversions ( or finding a CMH bulb with an E39 ) and then running it in their usual digital MH ballast? I've heard that most of the CMH...

Hi everyone. Just a quick one can you split a 600w to 2x 315 cmd on dimmable ballast?

Hey all ! quick question , I saw that there are few type of ballast . one for hps , one for mh , and one that is duel for both . Now I need a 400w ballast , but in my place there is no duel ballst , do I really need to buy both ballast ? I saw manny warnings that I REALLY should'nt...

Hi, now I have a Yield Lab Professional Series 120/220v 1000W Double Ended Complete Grow Light Kit, it came with the 1000w HPS light bulb, but can I switch it to a 1000w MH light bulb with this same grow light kit? The question seems stupid but i couldnt find an answer. :confused::confused:

I have a 17' by 17' glass greenhouse and my plants are still not getting enough light. A friend has given me a number of light fixtures that came form a closed down sawmill. They are made by Cooper lighting and the catalog number is FM 408. They can be found on the internet. The T Type is CWA...

I just purchased a used Lumatek 1000LK ballast on an auction website. This is the non-air cooled kind. However, every bulb I've tried to fire up has only flashed for about 1/2 a second, then no light emitting from the bulb, till around 1-3 minutes later, and another flash, repeatedly. The...

I was wondering if i am able to run 1000 watt ballast split to 2 lights then im going to put a timer between each light to ballast. I only want 1 light on at a time for 6 hours each 12 hours total so i wonder if i will have a problem when light switch over i already installed timer on my...

Hello to everyone.. still a newbie here.. looking for some wisdom, I am looking for a ballast that can run a 600mh during veg and then a 1000hps during flower.. I was looking at the Apollo Purple Reighn, but I was curious if there's any other or better ballast options out there.. I have a 4×4...

Any lamps or fixtures that they are compatible with?

After buying a larger tent online I'm thinking about stepping up to two lights. I'm currently running a 600w digital dimmable ballast by omega. Question is; do I have to run two of the same type of digital ballast? Is there any reason why I couldn't run one omega digital ballast and the other...
