BUCK BOOSTER

Would a Hex 2 unit benefit from a buck booster?

No. Hex uses magnetic ballasts. They run at 120 volts. Your service already provides that without any voltage correction.

Do not connect buck boosters to beds with magnetic ballasts.

I also have the Hex II. Hex makes a terrific, solid unit but he never kept up with the technology.160 watt lamps are not made to function well on the electronic ballasts because it is spliting the power to 2 lamps and under powering them, unlike the choke ballasts that drive one at a time.You can not hook a transformer to the unit.The best lamp that I have found that works for me is the Wolff solarium XLR 160. They are usually expensive though because I can not find them many places.

P.S.- If you want another one, just let me know!

Thanks to everyone.........I re lamped one booth about ten days ago with AUVL VXR'S from Future and like the results so far, I just want to see how they hold up. I have three Hex 2 and finding the right lamp is a real mystery.
