C'mon buddy, you'd only need to sell one major organ to pay for it ;)

LOL Ya I know but the way I've treated my organs I'm not sure.

I thought Sunlight supply and other where jumping on the band wagon

Did you used to have one? What organ did you sacrifice

Jason, my Coralvue 250w electronic is dimmable.

a rep at albright lighting told me he could order them in for me. but only up to 250w

I see Coralvue is making them in 400W now too

spreerider 03-31-2009 07:52 PM

Albright can get them up to 1000W but they get very expensive and you have to order in bulk for them to be able to place the order.

Maybe consider saving some time researching..........maybe that is... I have had dimmable ballasts since 2003, have not dimmed them once. Chances are you will never dim them unless you have a unique application for them.

But how much DO they dim? I was thinking adding them to a full sunlight sunrise/sunset. You know, starting off with T5's that are dimmable, ramping them up, then ramping up MH to full brightness for a couple hrs, then ramping down. Could also make Spotted cloud patterns and such??
