There are practically no choices or sources for 400w DE bulbs.

You need to buy electronic ballasts or use tar HQI ballasts @ 5.5 amps each.

Maybe you could upgrade your current halide reflectors to Lumenarcs for an upgrade instead of going 400w DE.

heh, well i like the hamilton 14ks... my experience with those are on the 250W DEs so far, so those are the bulbs i'd use.

so right now the ballasts i have are ansi m135. should i be considering swapping those out for something else? will something else run the 400W DEs better?

what ballasts are you talking about jack?
