Help with Hamilton 400 Watt Ballast conversion.

[NitrateKillah]

I bought a 400 Watt Hamilton Pendent and Ballast kit. It was made to run a 14K bulb and not Radium, I have 2 of these I bought 2 or more years ago sitting new in a box.

I like to convert this over for Radiums. Does anyone know how to convert these? its the M135 right? assuming I need a new cap, igniter and other things? and in what order do I have to wire it? the same way as I see it on the my (M59) current ballast?

I don’t see a way to convert a M59 to a M135/M155 ballast. The M135/M155 ballast has a lower output voltage but has a tapping point on the secondary coil for the ignitor. You would need a completely new ballast kit (ballast, capacitor and ignitor).
