"Doesn't sound right.  MH's require a BIG heavy ballast.  Could it have been
a quartz hallogen bulb?"

I have been using a 150 Watt Mercury Vapour bulb that uses a wacking great
ballast. Would it be possible to find a halide bulb in the range 150-175
Watt that would work as a replacement ?

Anyone done this ? especially anyone outside US where Mercury Vapour is more
common.
