ckmullin Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 depending upon cost of the bulb and ballast I'd say at least consider re-purposing the light to a light bulb type that is more common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckmullin Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Not necessary. The larger light on my 75 that I re-purposed the ballasts look nothing like that...I believe parts in general are more proprietary than an easy switch between different brands. IMO typically this makes us buy those specific branded pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 WELL it works just fine , the two 6700k 54W compact fluorescent put out much more light the the two 6000k 39W T5 HO , now i have a back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
