will it work on a ballast for a 600 watt light

Yes, if you have a 240volt cord for your ballast, (most new ballasts come w/ both 120volt & 240volt cords) Maximum Wattage: for the timer itself: 3600 watts, that would mean you have 3000 watts, left, before you reached timers maximum wattage load. Amps also mater, 15 amps is maximum load for this timer, but you shouldn't worry about that w/ just a 600 watt light. So simple answer is yes, and then some; with the right cord! Hope this helps.

I have not tried it on a ballast for a light but I use it to control a well pump. It works great for that purpose.

Yes, Thane G. The LumenMax 5K Mogul Socket will work any ballast. As long as the socket outlet are compatible.

To answer your question, no. The 400 watt ballast will only operate a 400 watt lamp. If you want to use a 1000 watt lamp you need to purchase a 1000 watt ballast.

I have the apallo 600 watt metal haide andhps system they work very well. neverheard of a 1000 watt ballast for 600 watt lights

Yes it will work but ballast won't last as long I lost a digital ballast never used them again

the 600 watt metal halide conversion bulb works in a 600 watt ballast designed for high pressure sodium bulbs; it converts the hps ballast to a metal halide ballast

Oh, no, no, no. It is a four HUNDRED watt bulb. You need a proper fixture and a ballast.

I believe you can. It uses a common Mogul socket which should work with a higher wattage bulb and since the ballast is built in to the bulb, this would not be an issue. If you are still in doubt, I would ask a electrician but I don't foresee any problems.

It's rated in amps so if your amperage is not greater than 16 amps and your ballasts are set at 240volts then it should.

Doesn't work that way buddy. You should do some research before you burn your place down. Don't try to use a lower than recommended wattage bulb because the power flow will not be consistent on this unit. Even if you reduce the ballast output of say, a 1000 watt ballast to 50%, you still shouldn't use a 600 watt bulb there. It will fire up, but your bulb could eventually explode. Just because it doesn't happen immediately doesn't mean it wont happen eventually. You could use a higher watt bulb with a lower power ballast in a pinch, but it is a waste of money and resources.

No it will not work. this ballast was for circle line bulbs. You just need to search for a ballast for 2- 48" straight tubes.

Terry, this. Ballast works perfectly with two tubes of 40 W, it is also very cheap.

you will still need a ballast of equal wattage to the bulb you are using but 400 watt and up screws rite into this socket assembly

Yes it will work...All ballasts are the same set up ...just different wattage

Yes, you can use this bulb in any digital ballast of 600 watts as far as I know. I use different brand bulbs in digital dimmable ballast.

If your ballast will handle extra wattage, will be fine. Most likely it will.

You need the ipower 1000 watt bulb and switched to the 600 watt setting on a digital 1000 watt ballast.
