So I'd get more PAR off the HQI than the Pulse start?

that tells me there that they have no idea what ballast you are asking for like any lighting place. ask them for the exact part number including the cap and starter and I can guarente the price will climb but do it anyways so we can compare prices but go there and make them show you the PN in there book, you'll find they like to substitute to what they think you need and frankly most of these guys don't have a clue when it comes to the types of bulbs and there requirments that we use.

um ya way more PAR I think the ushi tests in at almost 1.3X more PAR on a ushio bulb.
