Hi, our thunder reflector is compatible with our tunder 400-1000 watt ballast and bulbs.

It does not come with a light socket. You will need to get a light hood or socket.depending on what type you get. You may need an adapter plug...I am happy with the one I have 1000 watt.it is a good deal even though you need to get a light hood.

No you have to use all the wires. Unlike your old ballast when one light went out they both did. This ballast has separate wires for each lamp. Look on the ballast label for the diagram that tells what colored wires go to one tube and what colors for the other. You'll have to clip the wires on one end of the lamp fixture where the two sockets are joined together. TIP: Make sure you leave a generous length of wire coming from the sockets to work with.

Good day, I purchased some of this model LED tube from this particular company and the tubes work well. Realize that LED fixtures are NOT compatible with fluorescent ballasts, so you cannot plug them directly into a pre-existing fixture. The ballast must be removed or you may "hot wire" them around the ballast. Different manufacturers wire differently. There are four prongs: two on each end. You only need two of those prongs. Either the two on one end or the same two on opposite ends. I am currently on the road, so I cannot look at this particular tube to tell you how to wire it, but if you say you have "hot-wired" and it works, you have picked the correct wiring configuration. Yes, it is wired directly, no ballast. That's the way LEDs work. Hopefully this message has been some help or, at least, reassures you. Good luck. Bob

It uses the 12v power wires that go to the old ballast. Very easy to install, excellent quality of light and much brighter than the original bulbs. Once the wires are hooked up, the housing tube clips right into the receptacle.

This is a strange question but will try my best answer. Yes you can put 1 of the 4 35W bulb in the socket, but 35W is not bright enough to be useful. If you want extra bulbs I would just go with something like the 105W included in the kit.

I did the same thing. Just removed old ballast and used existing wire nuts to connect the new one. Very simple process. Just make sure the fixture is unplugged or disconnected.

It should be the same thing. As long as the prongs fit it will work. I have had two floor lamps that used those type bulbs, but, had to scrap both due to ballast going out on them. Could have re[placed ballast but could almost buy new lamp for the cost. Don't think either one lasted more than two years. In my opinion they are pretty shoddy products. I got a lamp with a screw in socket and use an Obama bulb.

Nop..aah, this bulb requires a "MOGUL" type socket from your local hardware store, it's a streetlight mercury vapor type(bout twice as big as a household socket). The HPS bulbs will require a ballast with equal wattage. but you can opt to run it with typical household 110 current.

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

No. This is a brighter replacement for an OEM standard 12 volt 55 watt headlight bulb. It is not a high-voltage or HID bulb. It is not compatible with a ballast lighting system.

You do have to rewire your fixtures and remove the ballast. Is that what you're asking? There's instructions that come with the bulb.

A 27 W Quad Tube Fluorescent can be used with this lamp. It's just easy to buy. I had mine from here and it works just great so far Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

Yes. This bulb does need a ballast. This particular bulb is meant to run off of an 400 watt high pressure sodium ballast with an S51 mogul socket.

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...

The light bulb socket is a candelabra style base. I couldn't find that style base in any size bigger than 40W. That's why I switched to a CFL bulb. Those bulbs put out more light and use less watts.

The different watt setting are kind of a non-feature although many ballasts have this feature. Many people use the lower settings to lower the heat output, but if you are just starting out, pay a little more money and get a decent unit. If you buy a Quantum, it will fail, and depending on how you are using it, it can cost you a lot of money.

T8 has lower lamp current than T12, so what happens is T8 on a T12 ballast overpowers the lamps. So they will run at say 36w and shorter life.
