Anyone running a EVC 20k 250W DE Bulb?

I am looking at trying out the EVC 20K 250W DE bulb and would like to hear from people that are running it.

What brand/ type ballast are you running it on and how do you like the bulb?

Thanks!

I LOVED the color but blew 3 bulbs in a very short period of time. The manufactorer blamed it on my magnetic ballasts overdriving the bulbs. You'll need electronic ballasts unless you want to gamble. The best DE color I've seen. Very very close to a Radium 20K.

Thanks for the info.

I have a PFO Electronic HQI ballast that I was thinking of using with this bulb. Do you think this would work?
