hey guys,
I have a ballast, the guy at the shop told me it would work with both bulbs as long as they're 400W but I don't think it will.
I don't want to put a 400W HPS in the thing and blow the bulb or anything..
So basically, I would like to know:
If I put a 400W HPS in this ballast, Will I ruin the bulb / Ballast? and what will happen? (E.g. Explode, die or nuclear bomb) Or will it just not run?
Will the ballast still work with MH?
I don't want the phyics or anything, just want to know the result of people who have done this.
It is from a flood light as all my ballast are because they end up 90% cheaper.
Thanks guys
EDIT: I just had a look at my 400W MH ballast. They're made by the same company, but look completely different. And the wiring diagram on the top of the actual Ballast is different, so it's leading me to believe it should be okay, just before I do it I wanted to consult you.
