Ballast question on Aqua Medic Ocean light

Do you mean 'same type as Reeflex?'
EDIT - ahh I see... Reeflex is made by Aqua Medic -
wow great stats - how did you figure out which ballast was in the Reeflex - I didn't see that on the page..

 

i googled it, its an M81. the higher quality one offered for a 150w magnetic ballast

 

k+ for the very helpful stats you provided on the other page.

I am not crazy about rewiring but it doesn't look too bad. What really is persuading me to go with the icecap now is kelvin rating. That is a huge difference between the two. Wow.

Thanks Trent! I appreciate all the help.

this is just with this particular XM 15k bulb. if you know what kinda bulb your looking at getting, I can maybe get you some closer numbers

 

Cool! I have an USHIO 14k HQI I was planning on using with this...

 

dont have Ushio 14k

should run similar to the XM data though... The ushios usually burn at a lower kelvin than advertised no matter what. For instance: the 10k actually burns at about 6400k on most ballasts and the 14k burns at like a 10-12k. 20k usually burns at just slightly above 20k (as compared to high 20's-30's with most other bulbs).
Cant get the exact values for you on this bulb though :-/

 

Man that is crazy!
Well I happen to have one... I'll see what it looks like and go from there... thanks again Trent.
