jorgeinmiami Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 I have seen people post that they are getting these AROMAT ballast on ebay for $55.00. Make sure you look at the model #. They are probably selling the old style ballast. The new one is a 5u. not 3u. Look at link in Aromat's site http://www.aromat.com/lcd_lightprod.htm I am in the process of making these flood lights with a 70w 10k USHIO LAMP. And the new Aromat ballast...

serjuanca88 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Where did you get yours? ebay? I am sure the new ones use less electricity and produce less heat, but I'm sure the old ones work too. Or is there something wrong with them? Link to comment
jorgeinmiami Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 I get them from an OEM I am in the lighting buisness. The newer ones are more effecient and cooler. The old ones should be fine.... I was just trying to make a point as why the older ones are less expensive. I plan to sell my units for about $150-160.... Link to comment
Reefer_Buddha Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 you plan to sell a 70w ballast for 150$? Link to comment
skylsdale Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 I think people could build their own (like you did) for cheaper than you are selling them. Although, some may not be too DIY inclined and prefer to spend a few extra bucks to get something that is all ready to plug-and-play. Just checked it out, and the wiring and everything looks extremely clean. Would the bulb come with it and everything? The ballast is NOT electronic, am I correct? Link to comment
jorgeinmiami Posted December 28, 2003 Author Share Posted December 28, 2003 Yes 70w 10k ushio lamp included. The ballast is a 70w AROMAT.. THE NEW STYLE COOLER AND MORE EFFICIENT. No for 150.00 you get the whole unit with flood light. lamp, and ballast. Link to comment
