"hey don't shine that in my face!" Nice flood you have there, it sure looks nifty! Where is the ballast located?

These type of 1000W-1500W floods is in use in my country (Israel) for arenas and anywhere that need MH wattage larger then 400W except for lighting skyscrapers when they use the modern european floods with bare 1000W-2000W MH lamps. This flood, like the similar floods from Gaash Lighting Factories, have the ballast in an equipment tray. I generally very hateing this type of high wattage floods because the (CWA Sodium Scandium lamps) lamps is in diagonal burning position cause hard lamp to lamp color shift (also becasue of HPM arc tube design) and 20% lower efficiency, 5 minutes to warm up, 15-20 minutes to cool down before hot restrike, catastrophic lumen maintance, harder color change during life then the european high wattage bare arctube lamps, lower color rendering (Like SBMVs: 65%), and shorter life. (For comparison the high wattage bare arctube MHs remains horizontal regardless of the flood angle, elipsodial arc tubes, better eficiency, instant restrike using speacil ignitor, rare earths, thallium and somtime sodium iodides, very high color stability in all cases, very high color rendering, compactness, and better lumen maintenance).

makes me wonder what our lights use for lighting Skyscrapers in the USA.......

The ballast is below the reflector I will take another shot of it to show that, this one is 1000 watt MH.
