What size are my halides?

[volunteerg]

So I bought a metal halide/vho hood off of a woman who had no idea what she was selling. Is there any way I can tell how many watts the bulbs are?

look at the base of the halides there might be something stamped on the glass like MH250 OR MH175 OR MH400

If Java's idea doesn't work... which it might not if the bulbs are old... you may have to dismantle the ballast pack and look at what the ballasts are rated for.

ok, there are 2 ballasts they have stickers on them that read:
1) 175w 120v 3.7 amps
2) 110w 120v 2.1 amps
i'll assume that the 175w are the metal halides and the 110w are the vho's

That should be it.
