was gonna pm you my question aero but that aint possible...........i am trying to figure out ansi requirements for a remote 400 mh ballast i was given. the box uses ansi pulse start type relamps of m123, m155, or m172, it came with a plantmaxx bulb that has an ansi of m59 for the 400. Seems to run fine but why the confusion over what will work and what wont? seems 's like an exspensive hit and miss trying bulbs hoping there compatable.

Q:


If i have a ballast requiring m123,m155,m172 pulse start relmaping bulbs can i use this one?
A:


According to the manufacture this is not a pulse start. I would recommend using the correct bulbs for your ballast requirements.

It is factory recommended that the ANSI code for the lamp and ballast match. In this case, the MT400D/hor/htl-blue has an ANSI code of M59/E

was trying to see which hortilux bulb is compatible with my ballast and set-up. Been a chore trying to find good, concise info.
