About 20 % less power consumption! I also liked the flexibility to be able to use lower setting on very hot days to keep temp down.

Yup! I've used both digital and analog ballasts and the bulbs don't really matter much. If your current ballasts work with your set up (as in plays nice with sensors/daytime/auto-on modes) and the wattage matches; this should be a plug and play installation. There's plenty of places on google that can help you out if you get stuck. Best of luck!

These lamps work with a digital ballast, and most digital ballasts can operate both Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium lamps. As long as your ballast can operate a 600 watt Metal Halide bulb, this bulb should work just fine.

NO 220/240 is completely different. If you can run one leg of it would work, don't think household works like that. I used to be in the lighting business & fixtures were always shipped with 220 plugged so you wouldn't blow up the ballast. Please don't try this you will burn up the motor. Hope this answers you question.

not sure, i bought the white sided so it would be more light in my garage. I have used both, i see no difference.

I've never used an analog ballast. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Although these ballasts do "heat" up and should be kept in the cool

It replaces the light and the ballast is no longer needed. The stock ballast powers the fluorescent/neon bulb that you won't be using anymore. The new LED doesn't require the ballast, you just toss the old ballast. This is a great setup, inexpensive and fairly easy job.

As long as your ballast is rated for t-12, takes the 96 inch single pin bulb you should be fine, just not as bright. Remember the T-12 are going away soon. They are going to be harder and more exspensive to purchase down the road.

Nope no ballast just plug in a regular outlet and your good to go. compared to a cfl just depends on your needs and situation. if you want better light penetration I'd say the hps butifyou have to keep temperatures down I'd go cfl. this hps has a bit higher wattage so it will increase on energy costs but very minimal. overall it's a great light with great results in smaller growing areas. Keep in mind also that this is used for flowering and not vegetation. Depending on which stage your plants are in you'll want to consider that. Hope this helps.

I agree with Kimm. When looking at ballasts input voltage (110/207), quantity of bulbs (1,2,4) in fixture along with bulb wattage/type should equal success in ballast selection. Our key concern is always compatibility to the other 100 fixtures so we stock one bulb type and one ballast type.

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.

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

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

I replaced a TCP 17030Q 30-Watt NPF Circline Compact Fluorescent Ballast with the TCP 17058Q 58-watt Compact Fluorescent Ballast. I dont see why it would not work for you as well. You just have to make sure the 58 watt bulb will fit in the glass globe of your ceiling fan/light fixture as it may be too large. Since the one I replaced was a 30 watt bulb and yours is a 36 watt bulb it should work. Good Luck!

Shouldn't have a problem with the install. Put a set in about 2 months ago and they still work great. I believe when I installed them it said 22w on each of the ballasts, website says 50w per set. Either way it's less than the 35 watts that each halogen bulb uses.

They are compatible as long as the Digital ballast are at 100 percent or Super lumen (if applicable). I found that if you use the 50% or 75% settings on a Digital Ballast the timers will stop working, and will show no signs of damage, either internally or externally. Hope this helps
