I don't think you really need one, I read some place that the amp * volt usually works except for some rare cases, like this sun system 150w. Other ballast, usually, have the correct listing. I got the store owner to test a 600w digital and they were almost perfect for the amp volt rating...

The galaxy digi can run both MH and HPS without needing a conversion bulb, I think. Better check up on that first. Unless that is a super spectrum MH then nvm.

On the kill-a-watt, the VA meter stands for volt amperage or something like that, which is different from volts * amps I think. Some guy was asking if this 150w really uses 408 watts. I don't think it does because the 408 watts that suncoast posted was probably VA. I looked it up, I think VA...

Hi, I ran this light through a kill-a-watt and it says that it runs at 162w. The VA is around 400, which is around the number you got. It does run at around 3.3 amps like it advertised though. I'm still not sure how VA or volt amperage works, but I think the light only uses around 162 watts...
