This ballast clearly only has 250w HQI setting however I do not see a setting for a 400w HQI bulb. Is this ballast compatible with 400W HQI Bulbs as well as a Hamilton 400W Cayman sun reflector?
Thank you

I don't own the ballast. I want to buy it however the pictures of the ballast on your website only show 250 W HQI option. The other option just says 400W without the HQI, which is why I am assuming it will not power 400W HQI. Also I want to confirm it will work with a Hamilton reflector.
Thank you

Yes, it will work with our 400W LuXcore. We use to carry 400W DE lamps and never an issue.

Thank you for your help!
I have three lasts questions prior to my purchase.

1. What is the super Lumen Option for after the 400W option?

2. Why does coralvue clearly label a 250W and a 250HQI option however they do not do this for the 400W option. There is a super Lumen option Instead?

3. Also since I am not familiar with these ballast, are there special ballast designed for HQI bulbs?

Thank you

1. 400HQI
2. 400HQI DE is not a popular lamp and only sold for 1 or 2 companies.
3. No special electronic ballasts for 400W HQI DE lamps.
