150w viper

jason.tammy · Nov 20, 2010

Anybody have an idea where to get a transformer for this light?I have one that shorted out.I would like to fix it v/s buying a new light.I guess that all depends on the cost of a transformer.
Thanks,Jason

How about this one ?

I think Ice Cap has the best ballasts out there. Well according to people who have them and reviews on them.
But I'm not sure if it would work on a viper.

I personally like the ARO ballast better. I have run both and got better output from the ARO.

I don't know if anyone is selling ARO ballast cheaper nowadays. I got a used 70W ballast for only $25 from an online source 7 years ago . Some indoor plant growers were dumping many of them back then. Rumor had it that they might have been growing some weeds....

Right now the only thing good about it is the bulb was only used for two frag swaps.I have no idea what to ask for it,other than a bran new bulb in the darn thing.
