Elite, we have one with a PFO HQI 250W ballast (also wired up the pendant with the PFO plug and a 15' cord for easy/quick connecting to the ballast). If you end up still needing one, let me know and we can likely work something out. This one was over our prop tank for about 9 months (approx 2' above it, so no rust, salt creep or spray, etc). LA3 mini was bought used, but still had the protective film on the surface, it had never actually been used, the ballast was bought new from MD about 6 months ago, and was fired for 8 hours a day (We tried an IC 250W MH ballast for a couple of months, give or take... and actually have that also with a PFO box for easy connect/disconnect with the reflector. The IC ballast was bought 9 months ago new, used for 3 months, 8 hours per day). Since we restructured out prop setup I highly doubt we will be re-using this setup. Let me know what you might be interested in.
