hey there,

has anyone ever used a 70W M98 ballast to fire a M85 70w DE bulb?

if so how did it work, wiring?

thanks

Are you talking about the VQ / Nias electronic ballasts?
If so, i have a m98 ballast, and it has fired:
14k jbj bulb
10k AB bulb
20k Catalina aquarium bulb.

Wiring is pretty easy, show me a pic of your ballast, and i'll show you the wiring (pending its the same ballast)
