Ushio 20K 150 watt

Can you run a Ushio 20K 150 watt bulb on a Ice Cap electronic ballast.
What is the best ballast to use on that bulb?

Unfortunately Ushio has not tested the Ice Cap ballast. Any ballast that you do use needs to run the lamp at 1.8A and have a starting voltage of at least 4KV. You'll have to ask the ballast manufacturer for their specifications. Under driving the lamp or over driving the lamp will change output, color, and life. If you want to discuss this more, you may contact me directly at [email protected].
