Lumapro 70 W HID Ballast Kit

This Lumapro kit supplies a single 70 W metal halide lamp with a pulse-start ballast rated for ANSI code M98. It operates on a 120 to 277 V AC supply at 60 Hz and draws 85 W input power. The unit is listed as new and carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm. Suitable for interior lighting installations that require this specific ballast type.

Installers needing one pulse-start M98 ballast

Electricians or facility managers replacing a 70 W metal halide ballast with matching ANSI code and input voltage range will find this kit compatible. It supports exactly one lamp and starts down to -20 °F. Buyers who need multiple-lamp operation, a different ANSI designation, or a ballast for another lamp technology should look elsewhere.

Pulse-start ballast with ANSI M98 code

The pulse-start method and M98 designation are the primary identifiers that determine whether this ballast matches the existing fixture and lamp. Verify the ANSI code on the old ballast before purchasing, as an incorrect code will prevent proper lamp ignition and operation.

Questions about this item

How is the 120 to 277V AC input wired during installation?

Connect the ballast leads to the supply wires matching the 120 to 277V AC range; the step often missed is verifying the ANSI M98 code on the lamp matches the ballast before powering up.

What maintenance will the 70 W metal halide lamp need later?

The single supported lamp will require replacement once its output drops or it fails to strike; the pulse-start ballast has no user-serviceable parts.

What limit appears first when the ballast runs continuously?

The 85 W input power and the -20°F minimum starting temperature define the thermal and cold-weather operating boundaries.
