ballast experts i need you help w/ a MH ballast ?

[Lunchbucket]

ok, i have a GE MagneTek cat no. M250MLTAC3M says i will run 1 250 w/ MH at 120v, i also have the little capacitor (or whatever) w/ it. it was used to run a 250w Out door light.

so my ? is why wouldn't this work for a 10,000k or 12,000k 250 w MH bulb? or would it??

thanks

It should work just fine.

To be sure, somewhere on it should be a code that says M58. That code indicates it's an ANSI standard 250W MH ballast.

yeah it says it will run (1) 250w M-58 or M-103 lamp.

so any type 250 w MH????

if anyone wants i would love to trade this 250 for a 150...i want it for a nano and 250 would just be too much

any more help or specs on it would be great!!!

thanks
