Ushio 14k 400w SE MH Regular or (CWA)?

[ptreef]

So it appears the:
-Normal 400w spec is 3.2A (384w) M59 balast
- CWA 400w spec is 3.6A (432w) M135/ M155 balast

I have the lumatek selecta watt.
Hass 400 & 400 SL settings.

Which bulb do I want? I am thinking the CWA run at the SL setting?

Thanks,

CWA is what I was using.

The CWA runs off an M59 ballast. The German 14K runs off a pulse start M135 ballast. I’m currently running four of the German (non-CWA) with M135 ballasts.

Opps..DOH! Ur right Nanook

Normal 400w spec is 3.2A (384w) M135/ M155 balast
- CWA 400w spec is 3.6A (432w) M59 balast

basically given the lumatek ballast I have which bulb do i want?
Is the lumatek considered the m135?
what about the SL setting on the lumatek?

I’m thinking you want the CWA bulbs for that ballast on the standard setting M59. Might be a good idea to clarify with Ushio and Lumatek though to be sure you’re burning the bulb to spec.
