175w Hamilton 14K bulbs on pulse ballast

[hookedonfish]

I am currently running Ushio 10k 175w bulbs with a pulse start ballast and would like to go to Hamilton 14k's. I have always read that this was not recommended. Marine Depot's web site says that these can run on the pulse ballast. Is it safe?

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Thanks for your reply Sir,

I just talked to Hamilton (not sure why I didn't call them in the first place?). They said yes you can run them on the pulse start ballast.

I will place an order with MD as they have always done a great job for me. Over 15 orders (some large) and never a problem.

Hi Paul,

We were not aware of any problems between the Hamilton bulb and pulse-start ballasts. We were going to give Hamilton a call to verify that, but I guess you got to it before we did :p

We have the bulbs in stock and can ship out your order ASAP.

Please let us know if there is anything we can help you with.

Sincerely,
Joseph
