does this ballast need any power block to connect t it or can it be directly connected to a power supply

Can be directly connected , put a small fan on the backside of the internal ballast . The vents on the opposite side the light is on , it helps .

The unit plugs directly into the wall (110V) or a timer (be sure the timer has a high enough power rating) that is plugged into the wall. I recommend using the timer as there is no switch on the unit.

No. It does not need a power supply. It simply collects the VHF from one antenna and the UHF from another and combines them into one cable.

I had problems with my OPT7 55W system. Problem 1: Bad Ballast. Trouble shoot by switching ballasts & lamps to detemine if this is a problem. Contact Opt7 & they will send a replacement. Problem 2: Power & Ground from existing wiring harness to Ballast. Eliminate as many connectors & splice wires directly to each other. Install relay to get power from a reliable source. Ground negative side to reliable ground point.

I ask my husband. He said there is no electronic ballast. He would know since he is and electrician.

No power supply provided. It requires a 120V AC to 12 V DC transformer / driver. You will need to figure the amount of amperage required based on the number of running feet in order to purchase the correct transformer / driver for your particular application.

You don't need to. For the starter kit purpose there is a USB cable that will power the board from your computer when connected. However if you want to run the board and not have it connected to your computer than you will need a power supply.

No power supply needed, just a USB port to plug into on your system. The only issue I have with this product, it keeps disconnecting, it doesn't lock in very tight, so I always loose connection on it, which can get annoying at times. There is no port for a power cable at all.

No you won't. The ballast is like a fuse. If anything will fry it will be the ballast.

No. You do not need a ballast for this. Only for the high-powered sodium lights.

No power supply needed for box to work but yes for lights to work. Just put the box somewhere in the line of the wires. Cut splice and plug in. Simple. no connectors needed for the box itself but you may need your choice of connectors to extend the wires of your existing lights.

Yes it's ok just use the harness that comes with lights.ballast take full power at startup n much less when the lights get full heat about 20-30 seconds later. If only one light turns on the first time you need better power input to the ballast.

Yes but sketchy . You need to access the existing ballast, cut only the hot and ground feeding the fixture, then using the wire nuts splice the provided pigtail to the hot and ground feed wires. Install the led tubes and connect the connectors.. Do not cut any other wires, do not remove the ballast as it provides the end to end connection for the new tubes good luck

Yes,i connected mine,you just need one power connector with,6 pin on one end,8 pin on other end,i honestly can tell you that i have not tried running it without the power connector.

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 does require a ballast. That was my misconception also. Had to send my bulbs right back.

you don't need one. Plugs right into regular socket. Doesn't need ballast or reflector. Worked well for me....for about two years...than started losing lights. When I tried to contact company....I found them out of business.

It does not require a ballast,just hang it,then just plug it in,their is no switch,so to turn it off,it must be unplugged,as far as a comparison with the 125 watt cfl,i do not know,i have never seen the 125 w cfl before,but i tell you this,hps bulb it comes with is very bright...
