I guess that if you put them on a kill a watt and the pull like 520w each, then they could be.

Sunlight Supply and PFO both had the "Son Agro" style, also called HQI 400W.Is the Bluewave ballast made by Sunlight Supply not Son Agro? I always thought it was.
It was more like 470W.I guess that if you put them on a kill a watt and the pull like 520w each, then they could be.

The 400W HQI PFO "Son Agro" style was actually a 470W ballast.
The pictured dual ballasts you have should say " BW-7 DUAL 430W MH HQI" on the label. Please check if that is the case.
Still baffles me using HPS ballasts with MH bulbs. Yea both are similar sometimes.
One of the problems that I can see with the ANSI code system for American HID lamps is that it leads us here to think that any lamp used on a mismatched ANSI code ballast will ALWAYS burn out instantly even though a certain pair of lamp types has similar voltage and current such as 150w M102 metal halide and 150w S56 high pressure sodium.

Yes indeed, I agree.That won't quite run them as hot as the PFO will, so that makes sense that you are not exploding them. A VERY good thing... exploded MH bulbs are no fun.
Where can you get them?It looks like we can still get the radium 400 watt bulbs, for now. I like them better than the Hamilton 14K.
