I have a 400W Coralvue ballast, I am using SE XM bulbs, I hope this ballast will work well with those new bulbs I had ordered.
By the way, please tell me if you know where I can get T5 bulbs, compact flourescent bulbs cheap like that too.
I am getting GREEDY now

Did you ask the seller if his bulb will work with your ballasts?
I have never found any GOOD T5's on EBay but also have never searched for CP's as I don't have any.

Edit: found this seller but I know nothing about CF bulbs.

My goodness I didn't ask about the ballast. The bulbs are called MH 400/T15/14K.
I have to email him back right now.

They should work but it is always good to ask.

Sorry about that but that is the first thing I would have asked.

While waiting for a return email from ebay seller; maybe until Monday; can someone tell me if the 400W Coralvue electronic ballast is able to run a probe start MH bulb ? Is it a M59 ballast ? I couldn't find any information on Google.
I won't sleep well (until Monday) if I am not able to find out the answer sooner. It's a women's nature.
