Foogoo Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Are there 70 watt MH bulbs other than 10K such as 14K or 20K? If so, where can I get them? Link to comment
bamann345 Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 The only place I know of is hellolights...... is there anywhere else? This is for the DE bulbs too. Link to comment
serjuanca88 Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 drsfosterandsmith.com have some 70w on sale right now. Check the anniversery section. Link to comment
Foogoo Posted September 15, 2003 Author Share Posted September 15, 2003 Are you sure they are still on sale? I can't find them on the drsfostersmith.com site anymore. Link to comment
serjuanca88 Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Supplies were limited so I guess they ran out. They were Ushios for $59, not to bad. Link to comment
ronl Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 They were actually AB 10000 bulbs for $69.99. I got one. The sale ended 8/31. Link to comment
serjuanca88 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 My bad, I must be confused with something else. Link to comment
AbSoluTc Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Pss, you can run a 150w bulb on a 70w ballast with the same light output as a 70w. Just an FYI Link to comment
Dave ESPI Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 ^^^ not if the frequency is diferent and initial striking amperage is not equal to the capacity of the 70 W ballast. Link to comment

Just an FYI Without damaging the life of the bulb and still have the specified output (i.e. 10000K)?? Link to comment
AbSoluTc Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Unknown. Ive run a 10k 150w bulb on a 70w ballast for a few weeks without incident. Anything beyond that as far as rated life, I do not know. Link to comment
toefu Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 wow. I may actually be willing to risk that. Running a 70watt pendant on my 3 gallon nano does not give me much space to place PC actinics and i'm not enjoying the 10k coloration as much as my 50/50 pc's. If i can put a 150watt 20k light in there, that would be great. So does yours work fine absolutc? Link to comment
toefu Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I was just wondering absolutc, the 150 watt DE bulb is longer than the 70 watt bulb. so did you buy a 500 watt halogen fixture to mount in? or did you just mod your current setup somehow. Link to comment
