Re: How can I mod my ultrasun starburst 4000 3/ magnums to kick some azz

I may be a little late to the party here but I like to modify my beds for performance as well as aesthetics. Beyond finding the best lamp to suit my needs I have done the following

Replaced the 140w ballasts on my orbit with 160s to overdrive the lamps a la sungate, also swapped capacitor bank with one from a sungate to add an additional 250uf to support the extra power. Future plan is to also add another 200w ballast in series with the two 400s per facial and replace the glass with newer style mirror glass if I can find ones that fit. I am not a fan of the old school blue hp glass

Also had an elixir 40/3 with sungate facial glass and 180w ballasts for the canopy

I believe that the magnums used 140w ballasts. Try to find some junk beds with 160s and have some fun
