Anybody running 20K Radiums on a standard PFO ballast?
I just picked up a 400w standard PFO ballast. I would like to run a 20K Radium w/ it but I don't know if it will (consistantly) since it's euro style bulb. In the little amount of research I have done on the subject I have found that a standard PFO ballast will run the Radium but may have difficulties.
So, my question goes to those who are using this bulb/ballast combo. How long have you been running this combo? Have you had any troubles (lights not coming on, flickering, pre-mature shutting off, etc.)? TIA. |

Either a M135 pulse start ballast or a Son Agro 430 watt type ballast really are the only ones that can ignite this bulb.
