| Has anyone besides me had any experience running European HPS lamps from 35w-150w on US ballasts. In my experience, I had no issues running Osram NAV-T 70w Super 4Y HPS lamps on US 70w M98 pulse start MH ballasts. In addition, I had no problems running European Venture 100w SON-T lamps on US 100w M90 pulse start MH ballasts as well. In addition, I also had no problems running other European low wattage HPS lamps on US low wattage pulse start MH ballasts as well such as a 70w internal ignitor Osram lamp on a US M98 pulse start MH ballast WITH the ignitor disconnected from the circuit. In these experiments, I only used HX magnetic ballasts and electronic ballasts. I had the idea of performing these experiments after seeing that some European members often say that American low wattage pulse start MH bulbs are compatible with European HPS chokes.
