Mike Maddox Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Anyone know where I can get retro kit + bulb for a 75watt double ended bulb? Thanks! Link to comment
impur Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 You can get the bulb and ballast at hellolights.com Link to comment
Mike Maddox Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 Only saw the 150w ballasts at hellolights? Link to comment
Perpetual98 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Look for the LampDr. He may be able to help you. I've got 3 extra ballasts, but no bulbs right now. Link to comment
Daemonfly Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I've seen a decent kit frequently being sold on Ebay as well. Link to comment
coolnick Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I just got a 70 watt MH retro kit on eBay from aquabuys. Came with a Ushio 10k bulb. Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 how much did that run you coolnick? Link to comment
coolnick Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 $153 shipped. Nice packaging, fast shipping. The kit included the reflector, lamp, electronic ballast, lamp cord, power cord, socket, wire nuts, etc... The reflector is very small, I am using it to add to my PCs, it will fit between the PC reflectors. Link to comment
fade2black Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I sell all of LampDr's lights. The price you see is what you pay, shipping is free. http://www.firstclassaquatics.com/lights.htm I have 70W retros for $145.99. Link to comment
Perpetual98 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Any line on a reflector or glass for the HQI's fade2black? Link to comment
impur Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 http://www.hellolights.com/70wunmam85ba.html FWIW I just got one of the 70w advance ballasts new off ebay for $30. Might try there first. Link to comment
coolnick Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Mine came with the glass and reflector, and electronic ballast... Link to comment
NCNBilly Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 The Aquabuys light is killer - comes with everything you need. I'm using it in my 10 and love it. Link to comment
fade2black Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 These are the new electronic ballasts from Aromat. I didn't see any 70W MH kits available from Aquabuys right now to compare the two. Mine are ALWAYS available. Link to comment
fade2black Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Well, I found them. The ballast they sell is the 5EU-F which is an older model than the 5EU-J that I sell. Link to comment
Perpetual98 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 The F & J designation has to do with the wires coming from the unit. I think the F has the wires on the sides and the J has them coming from the top. The older ones are 3EU Link to comment
