I am buying a ballast locally, from Brite-Lite.

What kind of ballast are you getting? M80, M138 or M58?

OCDP · #13 07-26-2005, 01:33 AM

the ballast is an m58.

If that is the case, then none of the pendants posted will work for you. You'll need something that can fit a mogul socket and bulb.

I already have the mogul socket... and I have the bulb. Just need to pick it up from a local reefer.

Would you have a suggestion of something easy and affordable? I am really stumped. I sent an e-mail to quick grow for a price on a pendant but who knows when I'll hear back.

What I did before was just hang one of these:

Just mount the reflector and socket to a 2x4 and hang that up from the ceiling.

Can an m58 fire a de bulb, or just the mogul type?

An M58 can only fire SE bulbs.

I was hoping to find something locally. Maybe a hydroponic shop carries reflectors? My main goal is to just find something local

Quick grow is local. There is one on Edmonton trail and another some where on Macloed.
Also try Bumper crop, which is also on edmonton trail.
I bet you will even find balleasts there cheaper.
Both are hydroponics stores.
I garauntee you will find what you need.
