GE Chromafit, CMH400/830/U
Finally found one that was pretty well used but still working! These run on either 400W HPS ballasts or MH pulse start
I didn't have a 400W pulse start kit handy so I just fired it up with a 55V 100W HPS ballast then put it on my 400W probe start MH ballast and touched the lamp and it struck up
These sell for $80-100 a lamp!

Nice! How come these are tubular but the normal Mh and PSMH lamps are BT?

The new fixtures walgreens has only fit tubular lamps, phillips does offer their CMH in regular shapes. Ge may too but idk

Nice lamp! It seems CMH for wattages over 250w are still rare.
