does anyone close to me (torrance) have a 250w mogul setup that will run a radium bulb? picked one up yesterday and despite my checking on several sites and talking to several people who know that say it will work with my pfo ballast it won't fire. so I need to figure out if its a ballast compatability issue or a bad bulb. bulb was picked up brand new.
so what I need to do is screw my bulb into your setup and turn it on. if it fires its my ballast thats incompatable. thats it.
ballast in question is a magnetic PFO single 250w. only indication of specs I see is a sticker that says 'aqi-250mh-120v'. there is nothing that indicates if its a M-80, M-158, etc. [I was told its a m-80 but can't seem to confirm] if theres a way to find out [like taking the silver case off I'm not opposed to doing so
thanks
