Default LF 250 Watt Ballasts!

I'm in need of (2) 250 watt ballasts for my Giesseman fixture. I just dropped mine and now my T5's don't work. If these ballast aren't for a Giesseman I would need the wiring harness as well for the fixture.

is that a digital ballast? I should mention I am looking for a digital ballast and not a magnetic ballast.

Why would you need a 250 watt ballist for t5 lights ? 250 watt is for metal halide bulbs not t5. I saw your other post neither make sence. If your t5 are broken then you need a t5 ballast. In that case how many bulbs and what are the length? Also have you checked to see if a t5 bulb has just come loose or something doubt dropping a fixture would break the ballast inside.

Sorry my t5 ballast is built in to my metal halide ballast. I do not want to run a broken ballast. So I'm having to get a new 250 watt ballast along with a new 54 watt t5 ballast. It has 4 t5 bulbs that are 48" long. None of the bulbs work. I also tried pulling apart the ballast and there is nothing that has come loose. I dropped the ballast and not the fixture. Sorry I should have worded things better.

That makes more sence I would think it will be hard to find that exact ballast as those fixtures are kinda rare in these parts, I would try and figure out a way of wiring just a new t5 ballast if possible.
