Common Ballast ANSI (American National Standards Institute) codes for HID lighting.

Copied this from a forum for indoor steathy gardeners. I think the codes are generally useful to those doing their own lighting and buying junk off of eBay.

*European lamps = M137 operates SOME European lamps designed for 4kV starting.

*European lamps = M80 operates European lamps that operate on high pressure sodium ballasts + MH

ignitors in Europe.

*European lamps = M138 and M135 operates SOME European lamps that operate on mercury vapor ballasts + MH ignitors in

Europe.

*Eupean lamps = S51operates SOME European lamps that operate on high pressure sodium ballasts.

*Some metal halide = S51 / S50 operates North American and European converson lamps (retrofit).

*High pressure sodium = M57, M58, M59, and M47 operates some high pressure sodium converson lamps

(usually used for growing plants) Check with manufacturer for proper ballast circuit to be used. (CWA, CWI, R, HX, or Reg Lag)

*High pressure sodium = H47, H39, H37, H33 and H36 operates some high pressure sodium converson lamps (used for general and

plant lighting) Check with manufacturer for proper ballast circuit to be used. (CWA, CWI, R, HX, or Reg Lag)
