Anyone running 250W probe start MH?

[funman1]

I'm looking to test a bulb. I have a 250W MH bulb I won from a raffel forever ago, and a ballast. But nothing happens when I put the two together.

I've read up on it and because my ballast is electronic it "should" run ANY bulb type.

My bulb I have is probe start, Mogul base.
So one of the two is broken.

If anyone close to the CH area runs a mogul 250W probe start or electronic ballast, Can I stop by and test out my bulb?

Thanks

Steve,

I have a 250W icecap ballast and a mogul socket you can test the bulb on. Best part is that is not on the tank yet.

Sweet!! is it probe start or electronic?

I have one too, if it doesn't work on John's. Mines a m58 probe start.

Sory electronic...

 

[funman1]

Electronic is fine since electronic "should" run anything..
That's what I have now too..
It's the pulse start ballast that would not work for sure..

What day next week is good for you John?

Thanks xia, if Johns does not work I will try it when I come over to your place to work on your other stuff.

If you want to give it a go with magentic 250W ballast, you can swing by my place whenver you like.

Steve,

Just about any day after 6:30 or so would be OK. Just let me know what day works for you and I will keep it open.
