AEL 125 and 325 now in CMH!
Form109:
i'd love to see my utility install these....they'd certainly look nice at night....the electronic ballast's seem the most likely part to fail early,but they should run the lamps more efficently than a magnetic ballast.
Mike:
CMH lamps can run on QMH ballasts, right? If so, utilities can just stick CMH lamps in the existing QMH systems.
Jace the Gull:
yes CMH can work on PULSE start QMH ballasts....Although usually CMH are mostly designed to work on electronic ballasts, but they will work just fine! They both have same electrical charaterstics......
But the CMH are all pulse start...not probe start....

Yeah, i meant Pulse Metal Halide. Guess i just wasn't thinking at the time.
Silverliner14B:
Clarifying things a little here, some specific types of CMHs such as the Philips CosmoPolis lamps require electronic ballasts. The rest of the CMH line can run on either magnetic or electronic ballasts.
