I'm having the hardest time finding a bulb! S400DD gets discontinued, I have to return the HPS ballast I got. Pulse Strike is out of stock. I can't find these anywhere else! What other bulbs will work, and where can I find them? Thanks - Tim

Go to Ushio web site and call their customer support they will tell you where you can get one in your area

Atlanta light bulbs has S400DD's for $37.95 right here so you can keep the HPS ballast, no probs just ask.

Yeah it took atlanta lights a week after my order to tell me S400DDs are not in stock and ushio says APRIL at the earliest. No luck there. Tim

April! Yikes! This is the bulb I got, also from atlantalightbulbs.com . I just started burning it in, and it seems very bright to me, they wouldn't give me lumens or anything, but I'd guess 25-35 thousand lumens, which is plenty. http://www.atlantalightbulbs.com/ecart/20R...400.U.T15IMPORT
Another plus is its T15 bulb shape so it will work with the new reflector, and its 26$ about 35 shipped.

Unfortunately it uses an M59 ballast so no HPS this time.

I can get the ED28 style in pulse or probe start. both work on the LL E-ballast. both work with the IKEA napkin reflector. how many you need?

Thanks everyone - I was lucky to find a MH400/U/T15 locally. It uses the M59, but that's ok.]

Ebay is your friend . That's where I got my S400DD last week.
