Coralife 150w Clip on light, electronic or magnetic balast?

[enderg60]

Setting up a 54g for a friend of mine with one of these, and I cant remember if those have electronic or magnectic balasts on them. Anyone know?

I want to get him a phoenix bulb, but they look too white on magnetic balasts.

I have one and its magnetic. I believe its the M81 ballast.

it's easy... if it weighs less than 20#, it's electronic.. if it weights 30#+ it's magnetic..




(that's kind of a joke, kind of serious)
