Default DIY Ballast construction
Hello all. I know my way around a circuit board, and I know of electronics suppliers that usually have low-cost components. I can buy transformers, caps, ignitors, etc. for virtually any rating. I'm just curious what the specs are on HPS AND MH 400W, 600W, and 1000Ws for the transformers, capacitors, and ignitors. If anyone can help me find this information (either if you know already, or just take a look at your ballast components and read the numbers from the transformer, Cap, and ignitor) I would be very appreciative, and would share information I put together (or offer to sell complete systems at lower cost than competitors).


Thank you for your time and cooperation!

i too have been doing research here recently on buying the parts for a 400W MH ballast... but i think the folks over at HTGSupply.com have a very cheap 400W ballast kit, only $49... i will have to look into that page, post back with your findings ismokedank/... i'll do the same, good luck
