what temperature are this ballast ?

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

This will more than likely work fine, ballasts are not that picky. they sell these at walmart now too for a lil bit more if you don't want to wait.

I believe any hid ballast would work. They should range between $10-$15. I got the cheaper one and a year later still working

I have them in my garage here in south Texas. As per instructions no ballast is required. It rarely gets below 25 degrees here. I do not see why they would not work since they are led. They have no issues in the South Texas heat. Not sure if I really answered the question but I tried. :-)

I believe the ballast your looking for is for 14 watts and above , this one is only rated for 13 watts

The color temp of the light is approximately 3000k so on the warmer side. Comparable to a Halogen light.

hi frank, i would think 1 year from date of purchase would be the norm. however the seller should maybe answer this to be on the safe side. and to add. IMO, service life of a bulb is subjective to it's Handling, (shipping)(end-user install). then on to operating conditions. assuming your ballast/and it's capacitor's are working correct. capacitor's in the ballast do age and or might not be to spec, also know they are a High Voltage device. MH bulb start voltage is around 480v - HPS 530volts(1000watt), the capacitor's make that happen. how much heat the bulb has to deal with is an aging, bulb position, enclosed hoods should be vented know it takes more power (voltage) longer starts, less lumens, to fire the bulb as it ages. Don't run a bulb till it wont fire, thats hard on the ballast, once again less light these were used : vertical position /w parabolic hood, room temps never got above 84 degrees. the last one just went down a couple days ago as of this writing. thinking i had at least 3 of them (bulbs). so a year a so... cheers

From the readings I have found the recommendation is to install them at 70 degrees or higher. Just what I've seen.

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.

I put a thermal probe on the glass face of a 50W GU10 incandescent and it went over 200F, but reads around 110F on the plastic face of this LED one. It may be a bit hotter in back, but not much. You can easily touch and change a lit LED bulb, but don't mess with a 50W.

Usually voltage regulation going to the light. Check the volts and if it is on point then it may be a faulty ballast.

the reason for the ballast is to convert DC into AC. So if you're replacing one, as long as it's for a 35w hid bulb, it'll work perfectly.

Am not absolutely certain of color temperature, but believe it to be about 5000K, which is whiter than the "warm white". I prefer this higher temperature for reading, and have been very happy with these fluorescent replacements.

I've been running it in a 65 gal marine talk with a 10 gal refugium. I placed in the sump area of the refugium. It worked fine for me in a building that is climate controlled around 74-75 degrees. I found mine to be miscalibrated around 2.5 degrees, though, so you may want to consider an alternate thermometer if you have sensitive stock.

I would have to agree with DB ,the current ballast would not start the 250 watt ed28

Sorry, but I'm traveling for the summer and don't have access to the bulb to measure it, but it is a big bulb. I am using it in a ceiling fixture and am not aware of the temperature.

It's rated in amps so if your amperage is not greater than 16 amps and your ballasts are set at 240volts then it should.
