Hey, I found this in my basement the other day and I thought it might be a metal halide light. It looks pretty old, but on the ballast it says 250w, and on the bulb it is 120v. Any ideas?
What kind of light is this?

That is an old school tungsten filament light. The 250w is the max rated load the socket can handle before bursting into flames.
IE this is a normal incandescent lightbulb. Ignore it.

I also helped clean out a garage and found a CO2 tank with regulator and solenoid... It was meant to be
Good luck getting that light.
