I need to test out a 2x65watt PC balast. Does anyone have spent buls that I can use? Might consider buying the bulbs after.

I have a couple I just switched out, 1yr old.

Acutally they are 55w actinic & 55w 10K Square pin. I had them both on a 65pc ballast.

Danny - square or straight pin? I have some 55W straights that should work on an electronic ballast.

Hi, they are straight pin I beleive, 4 pins in a row. Alan, will 55 watt bulbs work on a 65 watt balast, or will they just blow the bulbs? I guess since both of you guys are up there I could try either or. I didn't bring the balast with me today, I'll pm to set something up.

AFAIK, the 65W electronic ballast will fire either just fine.

I think... :confused:

You think correctly Alan. A 65W ballast will run 55W tubes no problem. :mrgreen:
