Full Version: TRIPP LITE PR3 DC Power Supply? Light Source?
MH lamps need a burst of power to light them. Ballasts supply this burst then settle back to a lower/steady power supply.

well the power supply in the picture only outputs a PEEK of 3Amps, it's continuous output is 2Amps. Also the one on your link only outputs 13.8VDC. Even if you could use a power supply like this to run your light, thats not enough power to light much of anything. (13.8V x 2A = 27.6 watts continuous)
