Armadildo Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I have a quandry...... I have a CustonSea Life Power Prizim pendant( with 2x 32 W PC). It is running great with Iwasaki 250 W 65K bulb, but a customer wants more blue. I have tried 2 Ushio 10 K and they have both Blown in less than a week, and a a third died 12 seconds after It started for the first time. PLEASE REPLY IF YOU KNOW FOR A FACT WHAT WILL WORK AS A 250 W FIT IN A CSL BALLAST SYSTEM I need something above 10 K. thanks. Link to comment
Jahkaya Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Dave: What ballast is the 250 on, CSL? If it is a CSL it may be a problem that it is a PRobe start instead of a pulse, or vice versa. I know that the Ushios do better on a Pulse, and the probe start may be making them crap out. The XM 20k are supposed to run on any ballast. Once you figure out what type of ballast the MH is on (probe, pulse, elec) I would recommend the 14k hamiltons with the 2x32 PC for a wonderful color. I believe that the hamiltons should also run on any ballast. Being the CSL is American made my guess is it is a Probestart, therefore xm 20 will work for sure! Link to comment
