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.

This link shows 400w bulbs under the 5th & 6th black line running off M59 ballast so the way I read it you should be good to go. Hobby Lights is usually very good to respond within a day, you should hear from them tomorrow.

I've ordered from Hobby Lighting as well. It was a relief that what I paid for 6 bulbs was what I would have paid for 2 bulbs bought else where.
As lighting is the primary source of make-it or break-it in this hobby, my kids will have no meat for two months while I save up enough money each year to switch out my bulbs. So this was a great thing to know.
The other site for PC won't ship to us, though, so we'd probably have to suck it up and order locally. Lenny.
