Smile DIY MH Question??

I currently have 3 250watt MH. I am thinking about switching out my 3 250watt MH ballast for 400watt MH ballast. My enclosure holds the three transformers. They are Advance M58 or H38 ballast. Can I take these out and replace them with M59 or H33? Are the M58 and M59 the same size? Will all three of the new 400watt MH fit in my same enclosure? Anyone with this experience?


Thanks,



Dave

"Ya know", don't quote me on this but i don't think that the Ballast will run those 400 watters. I might be wrong but hopefully someone will back me up whether i'm wrong or right!

I was able to replace the M58's with three M135 400 watt pulse start ballast. It works very well. It fires up my three radiums very well.
