Sorry about that but that is the first thing I would have asked.

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.

Million ... million thanks to you. You are so SWEET, The Grizz ! Thanks for the link, I feel much better now.

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.

Good to save money for something else

I'm sure the EBay website works. But the one given here that Brad is referring to is a Search Engine. So either the original link was incorrect or they've decided to take down their website and sell only through EBay.

Here is an updated, I have just got an email from hobblylight and they had confirmed their bulbs are suitable for my electronic ballast. I just wanted to let all of you know that this company has an excellent service, I am very happy with them.
And I am especially thankful to The Grizz again, I slept very well last night, your words really calmed me down concerning my worrying. I feel very lucky to have someone like you on this wonderful Canreef site.
