Lundy24 · #1 07/04/2007, 09:46 PM

I bought a Luman Max 3 pendant and a 150w pheonix 14k. Which ballast would be best for this setup. Im considering the ARO 150/175w, PFO 150w Hqi, and coralvues 150w/175w eballast. I'm open to other suggestions as well.

Heres a link to the coralvue incase anyones not familar with it

I have 3 ARO ballasts and they work very well.

I like the ARO 150/175 electronic ballast. This is actually the ballast that came enclosed in my PFO electronic ballast.

Ive heard that double ended bulbs really should be run on a HQI ballest. The PFO i was looking an HQI, M81 think., which is why i was considering it. How does the ARO fire double ended bulbs?

I have 2-150 watt and 1-250 watt all on ARO ballasts and they fire perfectly and run perfectly.
