			 Steve, what ballasts did you end up going with for the 250w Aqualine Bushkes ?  Can you give me all the specs (and where you got them if you'd like..  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	You may have mentioned this in another thread, but I couldn't seem to pick it out. :? I think I'll start swapping out the coil and core ballasts soon so I can move to one of the German bulbs.  |

			 I ended up going with the Advance ANSI M80 ballast. PN 71A5880.  J&L sells them as a (250 watt HQI bare ballast) for 149.99 and they say 1 week delivery.  I get them for about 10.00 cheeper and have a 2 week delivery.. I should have mine this thrusday   
		
	
		
		
		
		
			I would sugest calling localy to lighting places in town (Calgary) and asking how much for that ballast.. you might get a better price than I did. Steve

			 Is there any online info on these single-ended AB 250's?  All I can find are the double-endeds.

			 Delphinus, the 250 watt 13000K AB mogual base are a HQI lamp.. as well as the 250 watt double ended..  (they used to be 10000K but are now 13000K)  if you have any AB 10000K lamp it is a HQI acording to AB's head office.

			 Umm thanks that's all good but what I meant was is there any online info, I haven't been able to find all that much stuff yet, even at www.ab-aqualine.de (Ok admittedly, I havent checked the German pages there yet).   So where did you pick these up, Deb?

			 I've been following commentary on the AB bulbs for a while on RAMR, and subsequently the reviews on PAR etc. impressed me.  So I decided to give them a try.  However, I tried them on plain old coil/core whatever ballasts, and sold them real CHEEP to Steve....  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	I am really interested to see how the bulbs look with these new ballasts as they were totally yellow on mine. I ordered them from http://www.reeffanatic.com/cgi-bin/m...ategory=353120 They will USPS, I've always received within one week.  |
