Well, I got my Ballast yesterday, and got a box for them this morning so now they are assembled and tested.
I am Verry impressed.. they are more blue than white and very very bright, the mail man did a double take when he was dropping of the mail
I ran them for 20 min and the ballast were still cold to the touch. the start up was nice.. no flicker or anything.. just like turnning on a normal light in your house.. I will do a PAR test on them later after I get them installed on the tank but I am expecting a numb er that is quite high.. I can look at my 175 watt bulb with out to much squinting.. thease I can't it starts to hurt after 2 seconds :shock:
oh if the lights in the pic look a little different it is because the one on the right was on for 10 min and the one on the left only 3 min when this picture was taken..
