WTB 175 W MH balast
 

Anybody have a spare 175 W MH ballast for sale? Mine recently cratered and now I have a bulb and no ballast.

Hey Ross, I have an extra one that I might get rid of. what bulb are you attempting to run?
I'll check my fish bin and see what I have.

hmmm
 

I am not sure I'll have to check...

It's not that "Sunlight" system, is it Ross?

Sure hope not... that might get expensive.

If it is the used bulb, it is 10000K, and came from SWC. Jayson may recall the male. I think it was a German type. The other one is a Xanium H3 15000K.

its the 10k bulb
 

The 15 K one came off the socket...so it is the 10K german one. SWC says the bulb is - true 10K German
175 watt metal halide bulb. Does the ballast make that much of a difference?

Just wanted to make sure you didn't have anything out of the ordinary for a bulb :confused:
I do have an extra 175w bare ballast. If you want it Ross it's your's.
Does $50 sound reasonable?
Ciao
