just want to know , how fast is the warm up for these ballast, and how bright, just want to know, compare to my onex, might order maxlux in future

Not sure how fast it warms up. However, the brightness depends If you have a projector or just regular head lights. Don't forget this is 35w so the brightness is just average. If you're aiming for the brighter once that puts out more power you can go with 50w ballast.

I've never timed it, but I've never noticed a long lag in them warming up, so I'd say not long at all. I haven't had onex, but these are extremely bright. Bright enough that I'm sure it bothers people who get my lights in their eyes. The only thing that matters to me, is how long these last. I had to replace my first ones (not maxlux) after 6 months. I've had these for a couple years already.

The warm up is not long... and the ballast are way better than my old zentec kit... so far still working and I dont get any flicker

The warm up is seconds & they will be as bright as your bulbs allow. They are good durable ballasts.

DLJ, I've been running mine for quite sometime. They replaced 12v 4w incandescent bulbs and here is what I can say about these. The lumens is close to a 4w, the color is slightly cooler but still warm that people can't tell it's LED. The match up very nicely to 20w equivalent LED spotlights I put on the same system. And the beauty, not one bulb has gone out yet, running daily on a dusk timer for. 4, 6, or 8 hours depending on daylight season.

I'm not sure, we live in Texas, we have not experienced any problems with the ballast, but the problem would be with the bulb warmup time. Good luck

Mine already stopped working, and I only had an 800 watt amp... I have another one already being shipped. (a different brand) and this one didn't work very well. My headlights still strobed when I was beatin hard.

I read a review that said the same thing. I've had mine in for 6 months and no problems. They seem just as snug as the OEM ones I pulled out. IMHO the best out there unless you want fancy LED lighting. Also, I don't know why they say Xenon, mine came with ordinary type bulbs, I noticed they were considerably brighter but not sure if that is just because they are new vs the old "cloudy" ones.

For my fusion the ballast connected to the stock cable for my headlight unit. I purchased these a while ago and can't remember if it came with any other cables. I'm sure if you email the seller he or she can answer that question for you :)

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.

CJ, yes but if I were you, I would get the kensun kit with the Slim digital ballasts $79.99. I have that set on my low beams and fogs because they take the same (H-11, 6000K) type bulbs. I had the regular ballasts on the kit your asking about fail after 2 weeks. If you have any other questions, you might want to contact "Steve" at Kensun, he is awesome and helped me greatly. Good luck to you...

The 6000k are the brightest but the whitest light to avoid the color distraction, to avoid flicker I would recommend using a relay with the lights as I found that provides the best power to the hids and blinding other people, I have always heard to never use the hids with stock housings but I did and I very rarely get high beamed from passing drivers... hope that helps

Find one with a higher wattage equivalent, they work but not as bright as i would like. I also need to keep one of the original bulbs in the circut. (7) LED & (1) regular filament bulb. If I didn't bulbs would constantly flash. Has to do with Malibu transformer voltage regulator.

I have have the CFL bulb with no issues but I have not tried it with separately ballasted tubes. I love this thing, at first I couldn't stand the thought that it was on when I left the room but 2 minutes later it is off. I am thinking of getting the type that mounts at the switch plate for the garage, comes on when you pull in and turns off AFTER you leave.

No surprise. My last one lasted two weeks. These cheap bulbs cause damage to your ballast. Expensive repairs resulted. Bite the bullet and buy the Mitsubishi bulb. Mine lasted for over five years.

Take the bulbs out and remove the ballast cover. Then cut the wires between the ballast and the switch on the fixture. Attach the power wires to the power wire coming from the switch and make sure the negative is solidly connected as well. Then plug the bulbs in and place them back at back in the holders. You will notice that they are brighter than you are used to. This allows you even more savings because you don't need that many on unless you want more light. Hope I was able to help, let me know if you need more help. Luck, Bob

It looks light this has a sylvania instant start ballast which has a starting temp of -20F. Here is a link with the cut sheet for this model. Hope this helps. http://www.lithonia.com/es8/pdfs/osram%20high%20eff%20qhe%20brochure.pdf

Yes, those are really good and bright. I installed them on an unmarked unit and they worked great. The only problem were the cables that were too short other than that they are great.

Ballasts do not determine kelvin temperature (or the color of the light)......it's the bulbs :-)
