I think most of the american lanterns in Israel, are considered converted, because the american lanterns usually have american lamps and equipment.
But if you want to operate them in Israel, so they should be converted to use 230V gear and european lamps.
For example: the two Copper OVXs in the parking lot of Carmel hospital, in this picture have a yellow nema tag that displays 40, meanning of 400W HPS lamps.
However, their lamps are actualy 150W european made HPS (Like the rest of the lanterns there [Which are german made]).
So they are considered converted lanterns: Their american equipment, replaced by local made equipment, with a 230V rated ballast for european 150W HPS, to allow installation of european 150W HPS lamps.
Also, MV lanterns from GEC and AEG in Israel, are also converted to HPS.
Here is a picture of converted GEC-Z8691 lanterns in Rosh Pina township.
