Can anybody suggest what ballasts I could use with these bulbs ? Looking for something as affordable as possible....

Nick.

I checked with UPS this morning and they dont cover glass :sad:

Guess times have changed ... they must have gotten fed up replacing breakables ... too bad I dont get a free bulb :rolleyes: ... but I might be interested in buying a couple though

Cheers

Just wanted to let everyone know that I fired up the 3 400 watt 10 000 kelvin MH bulbs I received yesterday from Venki on my new retrofit driven by 3 son agro 430 watt HPS ballasts. The bulbs fired up right away and were extremely white in colour. I guess the important question is how long the bulbs will last being overdriven by the HQI-type ballasts. Man are they ever bright. I'm currently running 6 VHOs over my 280 gallon reef. Can't imagine what it's gonna look like when I get the MH/VHO retrofit installed.

Thanks Andy, I've ordered and am awaiting., can' beat the price, and I can't wait to see what else he'll have to offer in the future.

Put in an order my self as well.
Check is in the mail :biggrin:

Anyone else with feedback on these lights? I'm sitting on the fence right now.

I am currently running 250W iwasaki's on m58/h37 combo ballasts and I'm unhappy with the yellow colour. I wasn't going to replace these bulbs till this time next year (bulbs are 2 months old) but this price seems too good to pass up.

Hi Wayner,

I don't remember having received an order from you. Please send me an email with the info, did you order it under a different Name?

My next products will be an electronic ballast for around 100$ CAD in 250 and 400 watts.
