MH light, what do need to get it up and running?

[puffer32]

I have a pendant left over from my hobby afew yrs back. Its just the pendant without a ballast (guess its missing the most expensive part?) Do stores sell the ballast that i can just plug my pendant into? Are they real expensive? Thanks, I have 260 pc lighting and would love to have the extra lighting without dropping alot more money right now.

do a search on mh and on pendants on your computer you will probably also need a new bulb if it has been a few years which can be around 100 dollars plus if the metal halide wasnt stored properly you could have wiring issues you might find it cheaper and easier to just buy a light

Yeah the Ballast are really expensive!! But its cheaper than buying thw whole thing new again! Check out the Big auction by the Bay

YOu might get lucky! Todd

The lamp was stored in original box for last 3 yrs, it was only used about a yr, so all is good, will need a new bulb, but 100.00 where do you buy your bulbs??? lol. Blemmy Guy, yeah looking on the auction site, i can get one already wired or not, hubby can do that if needed, might not be as expensive as i thought originally, and much cheaper then a new set up. I have a good pc, corallife 260 watts, so the pendant should work fine with those, thanks!
