Title: Free: 400w (M59) MH Ballasts
Post by: don on November 23, 2011, 06:54:07 PM
Today, a local car dealer started converting all of their low-bay fixtures to T8 and asked if we (our shop) wanted the old ones. I said "of course" so I got the first batch today. Next week I'll get more.

Basically, I'm going to have more than I need so if anyone wants a ballast/cap, let me know here and next week I'll start removing ballasts from the left-over fixtures. You would only pay actual shipping. They are 120v fixtures but not sure how old they are....maybe only a decade or two. I haven't looked at the ballasts yet to see what brand they actually are.

Are they multi taps? Is there a 240 volt tap? Shipping would be to Canada however: http://ircalc.usps.gov/?country=10054

I opened one of the above mentioned fixtures and it has an Advance multi-tap (120,208,240,277v) H-33/M59 #71A6091 ballast. The date appears to be 1999.

@lights*plus, I couldn't open your link. However, I don't think it would be a problem to ship to Canada though, as long as you can cover the shipping.

Ok please reply with your zip and the weight of one ballast (w/cap & ignitor but no brackets or hardware). I'll figure out the shipping cost. I'll PM you for further info or possible transaction. Thanks

I could take one, I could use an extra. Shipping shouldn't cost too much.

I have some ballasts boxed up now. They are about 15 lbs....give or take a pound, and are from zip 48390. You can get an estimate from UPS or USPS. I can refund whatever amount if rate ends up cheaper via paypal. PM me with your address if interested.

How big are the ballast cases? Either black or white cases.

It'll cost over $45 USD to ship just one to Canada. Gotta think about this.  :-\

I can put these in a flat rate box for $10.50 in the US only. Outside that, it gets very expensive :o
