why you gotta be like that....when i'm trying to be like this?
It's an M57. Your right, ignitor is not included, wiring diagram did not indicate i needed one. (just shows power, cap, lamp and back). is one necessary? regardless... still cheaper than buying built. |

did some inquiring on another board and apparently because the m57 is a probe start, i won't need an ignitor.
(m57 bulbs typically have the ignitor built in) now if it was a pulse ballast, then yeah i'd need an ignitor. so :P Also to help anyone reading this thread: http://members.fortunecity.com/paulerik/id33.htm |
pulse > probe
pulse starts are easier on the bulbs and offer greater lifespans on the bulbs because of it. They also help with firing higher kelvin rated bulbs: 14000k. however, I have a probe start 175w and have no quirks with it, other than it doesn't like 20000k bulbs. (only on a 25gal so whipdee) I have m80 (250w hqi) on my main tank :D |
