I have the ballest for this kind of light but I can't rember what kind of light it is.
I wanted to look it up on the internet to see about how much they would cost me. and maybe goto homedepot and buy one. but I don't know what kind of light they call it.
I had onefor 3 years. it worked great but then after 3 years of useing it. it burnt out on me.
and now I wanted to get a new one. cuz I could save more room in my flowering cab.
thanks for UR help.
I don't see a pic or link
oops.
I don't know what you call them either, but Lowe's has bulbs very similar to yours - in the electrical section, near the 2' flouro tubes. They are also 65w, no ballast, mogul base - but the bulb is fatter and not quite as long.
PC :smokin:
Hydro it looks like a 65 watt bulb from a light I saw at Home Depot made by Lights of America. Sorry if Im not too specific but are you referring to the bulb itself as in brand, type, Kelvin? If so its considered a compact flourescent, its just bigger (and brighter) than the compacts you see at walmart or other places. Not trying to insult your intelligence here if I am giving basics, its just I dont quite understand your question completely. Can you be a little more specific with what exactly you want to know?...:thumbsup:Heres a link to one I found that looks like yours. 150 Watt Compact Fluorscent
wow tryangethigh U nailed it.
thats what I was talking about.
So I guess the light I would need is the 150 watt compact flourescent.
thanks to everyone that helped me on this.
The pic on the right is called an envirolight or a form there of, and has a ballast built into the bulb. The pic on the left has the ballast built into the reflector and has a bulb that does not have a ballast. This is the light from home depot. Do not buy an envirolight as it will not work unless your hood does not have a ballast.
You need the bulb that matches that ballast so if the ballast is 65 then get that one.
theres no ballasts....?
those bulbs have built-in ballast. (its why the base is so freaking huge)
^^^^ HUH?
The ballast is built into the bulb. It's fluorescent light, with standard tub styles the ballast is usually in the fixture. The CFL has the ballast simply wired right into the bulb. making it "Compact".Quote:

So, what you have is a cfl with a mogul base and built-in ballast. HomedePot etc. don't sell those. You'll have to go to a hydro shop or buy one online. If you want to buy online, Google "1,000 Bulbs". If they have the bulb you want, it'll be hard to beat their price.

the black bulb in pic 3 is a monster! what is that, 500watts!?
you can alsofind them on Ebay for pretty decent prices too...ive even found an HPS light setup and grow chamber on craigslist...youd be amazed..:thumbsup:
Those high-wattage screw-in flouros don't always come with built-in ballasts.
Those first 2 pics you posted, the bulbs on the left appear to be the sort that require an external ballast (stupid home dePOT doesn't sell just the ballasts for those, you have to buy a whole cheesy security light lol), and the one on the right does.
