Dust Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 yeah i saw about the moby sad news!About the digital ballast, if you REALLY want to rock your girls, you need to buy a digital bulb too Sunpulse i think are the best but the most expensive too, you will probably find some a little cheaper, it wil last longer than classical bulbs which are not really really made for digital ballast. It will work, but not at the top of it's potency Good luck man! Look on the forum with have threads about the SUnpulse Bulbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dust Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 well it's not really a digital bulbs lol, but it's a bulb made for digital ballast, so i call it that way but don't think it will be the commercial name lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE HANDYMAN Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 ah ok i think iv got one of those as i spent really good money to get the best bulb i could it was around 37 pounds and the rest were 20 ish so must be about the same id expect, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE HANDYMAN Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 hi mate ,,yep it does work with a 600w ,just make sure that you get a good one not acheapo one,if u can id go for a sunpulse digital bulb,but they are like 70 pounds each,i use a sunmaster dual spectrum and it works fine,and when i put A light meter on it it seemed to run at around the 50.75.100 range so,to answer your question yes u can use a norm 600w but go for a good quality one or if u can a sunpulse,hope this helps you mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
