LampDr. Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Can someone tell me if this ballast is ok to use with a 150W 10 OR 20K USHIO HQI DE LAMP. The reason I am asking is that I ordered these ballast to work on hqi lamps. I was just reading the specs on the ballast and it says its for M102 and M142 ballast. I tried it with one of the lamps and it works ok. Check out the specs.... http://www.aromat.com/lcd_pdf12.pdf Link to comment
digitallinx Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 as far as any experience, no....but, i am willing to lend my time and assitance in your research...just send me one of your ballast and i will provide the bulb and socket and run the setup over my tank, mind you i will constantly view it and taking notes, for your research... thank u Link to comment
testrak Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Your ballast will fire a M102 bulb (screw in type). It won't work on type HQI-TS which is double ended Ushio that you are trying to fire. Link to comment
LampDr. Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 I just got of the phone with the aromat rep. I tried the lamp and it works fine. He said that the M102, M140 AROMAT BALLAST. Will work on hqi lamps... thanks Link to comment
testrak Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Thats good to know. I called the rep for advance ballast and they said their M102 ballast don't fire HQIs. Link to comment
jmt Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 The Advance M102 will fire Ushio 150w DEs. Link to comment
Jahkaya Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Aromat are E ballasts and therefore "should" fire every bulb, just not necessarily to it's fullest capacity. Link to comment
