Can this work with my 600w Apollo Ballast? Can i use this socket with a 400w mh/hps light?

This has a standard 120v three prong plug. I think your lights will have a different three prong plug on the ballast.

No, you have to get a socket with a 3 prong plug that is compatible to the ballast, which usually has a 15ft cord. This socket is made for mogul base cfl's.

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

Short answer much as a 400 watt ballastThere are also different bulbs for different applications all with different spectrums/lumen outputs it keeps nodes shorter (doesn't reach from heat stress) bulbs average 1600 lumens per

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

You'd have to check the ratings on the ballast but as long as it's 240 Volts and below 16 amps it should be fine.

I have used this hood for more than one digital/electronic ballast, works great with my 600w Quantum and cheap Chinese digital 600w

Well, got some mixed info here. The bulb package image indicates a 1000w bulb, but the written description indicates 400w. The 400w bulb will need the M59 ballast with a mogul socket to function. I'm not sure what the 1000w bulb needs.

Yes, it will work with that reflector. All 1000 watt (and all others, for that matter)lamps have the same plug that will fit any ballast. That's a good reflector if you're loading co2, because it has the 6 inch ducts at each end. Perfect for a 4x4 tent.

No sir. It will blow the bulb. The smallest bulb you can use is a 400watt. The ballast is dimmable. It does 100%, 75%, and 50% power. 50% of 600 is 300. I have used a 400watt with it and it did fine. Good luck, great grows.

No! Has to be hps ballast. Mh ballast won't turn on hps bulb. But hps ballast will turn on a MH bulb.

I use this bulb in a dimmable digital ballast. My ballast works for both MH and HPS, so you'll want to check that yours does both.

Yes ,i did it just worked fine. my ballast is for 600Wthe bulb works in 100% 75% and 50%!

I'm not absolutely sure. This ballast is for 40w T12 (1-1/2" diameter) bulbs. It is not designed for the T8 (1" diameter) bulbs. If you have a fixture with the 1-1/2" diameter bulbs, it should work. As others have said, a wiring diagram is included that makes replacing an old unit fairly easy.

Yes...but you cannot run it off a normal, household light socket. It must be run w a 600 watt ballast or a 1000 watt ballast that can be adjusted down to run a 600 watt bulb.

Yep, should work fine. I'm no engineer, so I don't know if running with only one light will cause wear on the ballast or anything like that. You could always get 2 different lights (like one 'moon' light, or something like that) to tweak the spectrum and/or reduce the light output, if that's what you are trying to do.

NO!!! the bulb has to match the output of the ballast but all you have to do is use the dimmer if your trying to curb your electricity usage if it's because your 600 watt bulb failed than you have to get a new one, you can damage the 400 watt bulb and the ballast if you use the wrong bulb...hope this helps

This ballast is for a 4 lamp (32watt each) fixture. So should work if you have the same configuration. How that helps.Matt
