This has a mogul socket? I never thought there was a such thing as a 100 watt PSMH lamp in a mogul base. I still need a lamp, I got the 100 watt BALLAST but I just need the lamp.
I believe the reason why no half white and half red is because 100 watt probe start does not exist, only 150 and up have pulse and probe available.....
Ian, 100 watt pulse start MH lamps in mogul exists.....
I think it's time for you to start learning more about lamps than streetlight designs
Nice find. Yep they do make mogul base 100w MH lamps. Venture makes them. Sylvania and Philips also makes some but they are CMH and kinda expensive at least $50 or more.
Ah just bypass the ignitor and run a 100W merc. Yeah it overdrives the lamp an unconcernable amount, but Don has done it with his lights with no long term issues.
At a previous job my co worker installed a couple 100w mercs in 100w MH floodlights and they went dim within a couple years. Supposedly good quality GE Hungary ones.
At this point I'm going to leave it as-is an use a 100w MH lamp. The mounting bracket I ordered along with this fixture should be here this week as well.
You can find a mogul base lamp at a good deal here, but don't count on the quality (Plusrite lamps simply suck). It's the only reasonably priced brad I know of for mogul base MH lamps.
I think the best lamp you can get with your money for this light can be found here. It's a good name, good price, plus it's ceramic metal halide, meaning longer life, more lumens, less chance of explosion, and better color quality. You'll need a mogul to medium adapter though but the lamp will be 100 times better than Plusrite junk.
Hmm it looks like Grainger sells them. Anyways, it's not recommended but I've just used the regular ceramic reducers in a pinch before and it worked fine/

If you can get your hands on it, I believe a 125w merc would be the best match for a 100w MH ballast.
