|  Help - need 250W ballast So 2 weeks ago just before I leave to go to the ferry on vacation I check the tank one last time and only one MH light is on.  WTF!!!  Could have been worse ... Like the ballast blowing a day later.  So for the last two weeks while I was away I've only been running one fixture mounted in the centre.  Gotta get this fixed ASAP. Does anyone have a 250w hqi ballast that is compatiable with lumenmax elite pendants/cords? Let me know if you have something. Thanks Tyler |

|   Still looking.  If you have anything I can borrow for a couple weeks that would be great. Likewise if you have one you wanna sell let me know. Thanks |

|   I also have a dead ballast in my 250W galaxy ballast.  Does anyone know if I can swap out the good ballast to salvage one good dual ballast?  Is it plug and play like the guts of a computer? |

|   Probably not. Electronics are sealed, I believe.
