Hello every1. im in a shitty situation here. 30 minutes ago i was happy and eager to use my new 150 wattmh bulb i traveled 2 1/2 hours one way to get. I originally ordered it online and ordered the wrond dam one! But it turned out the place i ordered it from is about a 2 hour drive away.
So i drive to this place(1000bulbs.com) and i get in there and explain what happened, so they get me whati think is the right bulb. the bulb i had before was way too big, wouldnt screw in, but i could tell this new one should fit the normal size socket. So anyway i get home, screw it in, and all i can get out of it is a low glow. when i first plugged it in, it flickered really bright. So im thinking nothing is wrong with the bulb, its just the wrong kind again? i dont kno wtf to do at this point. Could someone please please please help me.
here is what im screwing the bulb into:
well shit i just looked and it lookes like they changed there site and no longer have it lol! ill try to describe it the best i can
mini florolux 150 watt hps from htg supply. it says: relamp with S55 type medium based 150w hps lamp
3.2 Amp@120 volt 60 hz
the new metal halide bulb i bought just says: MH150/U/MED. and on the side it says: Ballast information Lamp ANSI Spec. 150W M102
i thought that my 150 watt hps would have no problem using a 150 watt metal halide, but apparently it just doesnt work, or i got the wrong kind of bulb again. I cant think of any more info that would be helpful. If someone could help me i would be so freaking grateful!!! this has been a nuisance!!.
here is the exact bulb i have now: http://www.1000bulbs.com/product/5014/MH-01504.html
here is a list of different mh bulbs they have and i have no clue what the difference is. maybe one of these is the one i need?
