EVC and Coralvue ballast questions

hdyoung · 10/04/2007, 05:36 PM

Question 1 - Oceanencounters is out of stock of 400 watt EVC electronic ballasts. Does anyone else sell them?

Question 2 - Do coralvue electronic ballasts overdrive the bulbs? Ive checked the lighting website and I think the answer is "no" but I'd like to verify before I purchse one. I'm not interested in shortening bulb life for a bit of extra intensity.

I don't think any electronic ballasts overdrive bulbs. true HQI ballasts are magnetic
