Hi there. I have a thai-spec streetfighter lamp.. Takes two H6M bulbs 12V 25/25W. Can I run these 35's without a ballast? I run no other accessories.

All I can tell you is I have a fourtrax 300 it called for 12 v 25w/25w/ . I removed the standard bulbs and installed these bulbs with nothing else and they have been working perfectly for over two years . ( Direct exchange )

T8 has lower lamp current than T12, so what happens is T8 on a T12 ballast overpowers the lamps. So they will run at say 36w and shorter life.

Sorry Robert, I don't know about a ballast. Purchased the extra bulb from Amazon, have not encountered the ballast issue. Good luck.

The bulbs fit in a standard screw in socket. Make sure there is no shrouding around the screw in base socket because the built in ballast/electronic circuit housing that the swirly glass florescent tubes come out of are about 3-4 inch in diameter. No external ballast required - why I bought them. Same technology as all other CFLs. I used them to light my garage work shop. Very good for the money so far. Cannot vouch for the claimed life expectancy.

Yes, that type of bulb has an internal ballast and requires a mogul base socket, which is exaclty what this has.

This fixture runs MH or HPS bulbs but through a ballast first. It should plug right into the out going side of the ballast. Then you should have the option of 120V or 240V going into the ballast! 240V being more economical. Good luck!

Yes you'll need 2 ballast one for each light, If you check Amazon site there are packages that contain the ballast and bulbs together.

Yes...You do need a ballast. One each side for each bulb. I ordered the Xenex ballasts. They come in a pair. Seem to be working fine.

No, it will actually decrease the life span of the bulb. When the bulb is not used at the recommended wattage, ot also does not put out the full spectrum that the bulb is rated at.If you intend to only run the bulb at 50%, i would recommend just using a 400 watt bulb with your 600 watt ballast.

Typically street legal vehicles using halogen lights use around 40 for low beam and 60 for high. So your ballast pulls less. If Ur using a bi xenon hid balast only uses 35 on both doesn't change your amp only changes the position of the bulb. So an hid kit if installed correctly will use way less power

This lamp uses a bayonet single contact 12V Ba15s bulb as used in automotive applications. I replaced with LED for lower power and brighter light. The one i used is: LEDwholesalers Bayonet Single Contact LED bulb Ba15s 8-30v Dc & 12v Ac 60 LED 5w 300 Lumen,Warm White 1422ww. So far is working well.

Yes. I started with a set of Kensun 35 watt HID lights 4300K. The 55 watt set in 4300K is at least 25% brighter with a wider and longer beam pattern. The ballasts are a different size and shape and are labeled 55 watt. They are a significant improvement over the 35 watt.

I have not tried this but have researched it. Apparently You can run MH in a HPS fixture but not the other way around. The HPS ballast contains an igniter. In switchable ballasts this is turned off for metal halide. So it should work although the igniter may shorten your bulb life. They also make MH conversion bulbs that will run in a MH ballast but they are expensive and I am not sure they make them in 150W

the bulbs are rated at 35W, but the kit draws more b/c of ballast. You would need harness if bulbs do not want to ignite. Most cars do fine w/o harness, some may need. And btw this kit has slim ballast (at least that what is written on ballast). Not sure what TG72 was referring to.

this is just one lamp with no bulbs. It is d.o.t. for motorcycles only. It takes h4 bulb.

This ballast is for HID systems why do you need a ballast for any LED system? I would like to see a video from the people who anwsered yes hook up a high power ballast to a 12v LED bulb.
