I want to use this light in my household kitchen Vent-A-Hood. What power supply would I need to replace the ballast/starter?

these are 12 volt bulbs for an rv or automotive application, not 110 volt as a house would be.

These only work on 12 volt DC power. Not sure how to convert for 120 volt AC.

Standard plug, I would not recommend using this product outdoors, is it going to be used in a greenhouse if so it should be ok just keep the ballast off the ground, the ballast convert's the standard plug of the light (which is not 12 volt) into a 12 volt which is your standard wall outlet no ballast no power, I love this unit but it gets freaking hot. If you have not used this lighting before you may want to start with a 600 watt which requires no ballast produces far less heat and requires less energy, still I wouldn't use either product outdoors any more questions just ask happy to help

My light recently stopped working after 2.5 years of daily use. I replaced the bulbs but that did not work. Usually this is a sign that the ballast needs replacing. I can't find it however even after removing the ends and looking down the tube. Before I take it apart any further I'd like to know if anyone else has done this repair successfully. I contacted Hydrofarm. I have not yet heard back. Here is there support page: https://www.hydrofarm.com/support

I didn't need a resistor for my fogs. So you should be fine. You definitely wont need a ballast.

Your ballast and capacitator need to be replaced. Although the lamps last forever, the current manufactuers of ballast are junk. Best to replace whole light as cost to have someone replace ballast is probally more than cost of new light unless you have a friend who's an electrician. I have had to get three replacements in last 22 years. The last two only lasted 4-5 years a piece. Neighbors have same problem. Hopefully you can get your money back for the bulb and photo cell.

e39 cfl (ballast inside bulb) you can run the bulb with a e39 socket and plug (no ballast needed) . I hope that helps.

I replaced a TCP 17030Q 30-Watt NPF Circline Compact Fluorescent Ballast with the TCP 17058Q 58-watt Compact Fluorescent Ballast. I dont see why it would not work for you as well. You just have to make sure the 58 watt bulb will fit in the glass globe of your ceiling fan/light fixture as it may be too large. Since the one I replaced was a 30 watt bulb and yours is a 36 watt bulb it should work. Good Luck!

You could use any 13W, 120VAC, 60 Hz, 220mA, 900 Lumens standard socket bulb. Multiple manufacturers make this type. Get it on AMAZON !

you will still need a ballast of equal wattage to the bulb you are using but 400 watt and up screws rite into this socket assembly

Yes; this is a nice hood. Note the "bulb" must be made to fit a high temp/big socket and it really should match the ballast for exceptional performance.

The halogen bulb receptacle will accept the LED unit. The question is whether you have enough space to accommodate the other parts, ie. the LED device has a small fan that screws into the back of the LED lamp. you also need space for the ballast. The difference in brilliance is worth the effort. I don't know the amperage but I suspect that it's considerably lower

I am not an electrician, but I believe that ballast is only needed for fluorescent lights and would not be needed for LED bulbs.

No. It's not a lamp. It's an LED. There really should not be a need to replace it. If the diode fails then I suppose I would chase DeWalt for a replacement flashlight. If you are somehow wanting to change to a different circuit and LED, then surgery, maybe(?)

I would have to agree with DB ,the current ballast would not start the 250 watt ed28

The socket is hard wired to the hood, so while possible to retrofit for a 400 watt bulb/ballast, it would be cheaper and easier to just buy the 400 watt kit. Hope that helps.

I did the same thing. Just removed old ballast and used existing wire nuts to connect the new one. Very simple process. Just make sure the fixture is unplugged or disconnected.

No. This is a brighter replacement for an OEM standard 12 volt 55 watt headlight bulb. It is not a high-voltage or HID bulb. It is not compatible with a ballast lighting system.
