reefriot Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 i have some nice power compact ballast, wanted something for my new 18gal nano and got a good deal on a lot of them so stocked up. these are universal voltage so can be run anywhere from 120v to 277volt, the have a built in microprocessor for soft lamp start, extended lamp life, and a built in surge protector where the ballast will shut down if it encounters voltage spikes. the have push-in conectors for easy wiring. the are light weight plactic housing for moisture applications weigh about 1/3rd of a lb. and are small so can fit in most canopies. heres what i have 2x32/42 watt ballast-15.00+ship- 3 LEFT 1x55watt ballast-15.00+ship- 4 LEFT i will include an easy wire diagram and spec sheet with each ballast heres a couple pics thanks aaron Link to comment

cal3v Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 will the 32/42 run the 36w bulbs over at hellolights? Link to comment
reefriot Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 since these are electronic ballasts they will run any 2 bulbs up to 42 watts each aaron Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 thanks. Cool. Sounds like it will work with the 36w then, since its up to 42 per bulb. Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 oops. Sorry. I was wondering, would the ballast work with 28w bulbs? Thanks. Link to comment
Hinecken Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 You said you stocked up in your original post. I have a 30gal breeder (36" long) and was wondering how many 55watt ballasts you have? Link to comment

fliberdygibits Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Even if you don't, I am interested in 2 of the 2x32/42s. If you can't do paypal, just tell me where to mail the money. Thanks Link to comment
fliberdygibits Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 I got the 2 ballasts you mailed and I am curious. You said they are universal voltage, but on the ballast AND at the company's web site it says they are for 230 - 277 volt use only. Are you actually using these with 110-120 volt? Are they in fact ES-2-CFH-42/32-277/230-H or are they ES-2-CFH-42/32-UNV-H? Thanks. Link to comment
