nope runs standard US plug 112v works great for enclosed area lots of reflectivity.

Nope but I did notice however LED lights are more effective as additional lighting. Mixing HID lighting or flourscent with is the way to go in my opinion. I've noticed better results and more natural growth. Pretty light tho- it's pink. You can use them by themselves tho too. I would recommend one plant per 135 watt ufo. Once you have 3 or 4 going it can get a bit noisey tho. Low heat is nice

This bulb will not work with an electronic ballast, only a magnetic HPS. This is a conversion bulb from HPS to MH.

If you are using an old CRT tv, yes you would need a digital converter. If you have a newer HDTV with a digital tuner you will not need a digital converter box.

It is an easy replacement. It is plugged into your existing ballast. We do have installation instructions we can email to you when you purchase, just sent us an email when you place your order. Let me know if you have any questions.

Yes. If you bypass the ballast in a single tube fixture the light will work.

I am not an electrician, but I believe that ballast is only needed for fluorescent lights and would not be needed for LED bulbs.

Yes any digital ballast should. This kit came with the option to get a MH with it if I wanted. The HPS bulb that came with the kit seems in great condition but I am still going to buy a bulb from a third party company that is known for a quality bulbs. ( I would never start a grow without a replacement bulb)

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

I used that bulb in a digital and a magnetic 1000 watt ballasts worked fine but only lasted 6 months and no warranty. I replaced it with one from a local grow store with a year warranty for $60 and don't have to mess with damaged bulbs in shipping and the wait.

the ballast has to be HPS and wattage compatible. if you can afford it, the best is the dual arc 1000w

Yes. You plug the light into the ballast and the ballast into the outlet. If you're gonna use a timer make sure it's a 15 amp.

Yes, you'll need a remote ballast and lamp to operate this system. Please browse our Amazon store, we have plenty of options. Hope this helps and please remember to shop with Healthy Harvest Florida! ;)

You need to order the ballast that has the correct bulb socket the bulb plugs into

The wiring for an electronic ballast is different from a mechanical or magnetic ballast. And wiring is different for use in a one bulb fixture compared to a two bulb fixture. There should be a wiring diagram right on the ballast. The paperwork for wiring one or two bulb fixtures should be in the packaging. I was a little wary during my first rewiring, but it really does work if you follow the included wiring diagram, and I have successfully rewired 6 fixtures. Now they turn on immediately!

I don't know. You will need to look at the existing ballast for a number, then go to the site and search for that number. Any substitutes or the original should be shown. Hope this helps.
