Hi guys,

Here are the specs on the ATCO ballast my local lighting specialist says I need for my 175w MH setup. Could someone who knows what these numbers mean confirm to me that this is the right thing. Also, is the ballast and the bulb all that is needed apart the obvious things like the reflector, socket, wiring...

C'mon, even if no one here knows the specs, there's gotta be at least someone who can tell me what the needed components for a MH light are.
