It's going over a black pond tub for SPS propagation.

emperora, it's not a MV fixture, it's for a 400w SE MH bulb. The Ballast is an M59.

Just to give you all an idea of how large this thing is, here's a picture of it next to a 5g water jug.

I got 2 of those last year from a closed down warehouse. Coverted the thing to run my PFO fixtures, mine is the exact same ballast, the scary part was when I did the switch over and not touching that capacitor in the housing, "real tight" area to work in.

I still think its for a chopper. With some ape hangars and strait pipes. You would be king.

Nice light.

BTW, I've decided to ditch the reflector and run the ballast remote and use a Lumenac III, 19.5" x 19.5" x 8.5", for the reflector.
