2 250 MH ballasts for sale

[ostrow]

These are sort of DIY I think, but have Sunlight Supply sticker on the boxes. That may just be the boxes, hard for me to know. Not that brand matters. They are old, I'm the 2nd or 3rd owner (Scott A. and then Dan J.) and I got them with the setup when I bought Dan's tank (Scott's before him). And they are standard M58 core and coil ballasts.

They work fine. I just replaced with one of the dual 250 HQIs that have been available of late. But the boxes on these never even get warm for some reason.

Both have long extension cords for remote access. No sockets or reflectors, and NO I won't ship! For locals only! They are heavy suckers!

I'd like to get $75 for both (not each, both) if possible. I think that's a reasonable deal.

I might be interested, are they HQI ballasts?

what kind of bulbs did you use on those ballasts?

 

[ostrow]

I used Ushio. I used AB though they were finicky. I used Reeflux. Started out with Iwaki's but those were pretty yellow.

they look cool and cant beat that price

 

[ostrow]

It is a good price. The pics at www.ostrows.us were with these ballasts and Reeflux bulbs

If anyone takes both I can throw in a reflector and socket but only one, unfortunately. And it's modified down from 15" (IIRC) to about 13.5 long.

I only just realized my error. Not Sunlight Supply.

The boxes say Diamond Horticulture DMH250. Good luck finding a reference on google.

In any event they are, as I posted, DIY-ed/modded in the wiring to my eye anyway, and have age/rust marks on the boxes but work fine.

Wonder if this is the same Diamond as the company that makes the Lumenarcs? The address on the box is San Rafael (I think), CA.
