Hmm... Need more light? Do this! Hey, Need more light and don't have the rightful ballast? Just put a 400w one in there! LOL. All i did was move the socket back on my 115, and then fitted my 400w HPS coated in ED 37 in there xD Oh... I took my 115 down today then put up the NEMA! More info on other pics. But I wired this back to 150w HPS. I am trying to put in my 175w MV in the ballast box the 150w one was in last. Keywords: Gear

i dont like Crammers like this for normal use...but it is cool that it fits...heat buildup could be a problem long term i guess. Wink

LOL. THe ballast in here is 150w. I just did this for fun to see if an ED 37 would fit.
gailgrove   [Feb 10, 2010 at 10:03 PM]
The 115 is available in 400 watt HPS so if you had one of them you could fire it up!
LilCinnamon   [Feb 10, 2010 at 11:48 PM]
LOL i could just remote ballast it from my M-400 r2. I have already remote ballasted it for 400w Probe start MH! xD

Your 150w HPS ballasts looks a lot smaller than the one that's in my ballast box at the moment, I'm guessing yours is a single tap ballast.
LilCinnamon   [Feb 11, 2010 at 04:04 AM]
yeah.

And I`ll now be getting a 400 watt HPS 115 Cool, why is it the my future 115 and my OVX are both small yet have the largest lamps Rolling Eyes
Form109   [Jun 11, 2010 at 10:46 PM]
wow...a 400 Watt HPS 115! Shocked
joe_347V   [Jun 12, 2010 at 05:09 AM]
Whoa a 400w HPS 115! I would use a larger fixture for the 250W-400W HPS lamps though.

I also got a 400W MH lamp to fit in my R47 before but didn't fire it up in the fixture.

This exists actually as far as I know....I know GE used to do that but stopped doing that...
gailgrove   [Jun 12, 2010 at 07:03 PM]
Yep I know of a few 400 watts HPS M250R2s Rolling Eyes
They only do it because its cheaper to buy a small cobra then a medium Rolling Eyes

Don't use plastic.......
gailgrove   [Apr 11, 2011 at 02:43 AM]
I guess you could also put in a BT-37 1KW HPS lamp, now that would be bright Cool
GullWhiz   [Apr 11, 2011 at 03:13 AM]
I know GE did for a short time make 400 watt HPS GE M-250R2s....but they stopped....also using a 400 watt MV BT lamp or MH BT lamp...you wont be able to use FCO....only drop or sag lens!
gailgrove   [Apr 11, 2011 at 10:08 PM]
Yeah I know of a few of those.
LilCinnamon   [Apr 12, 2011 at 06:55 AM]
Why are all large fixtures (700-1000 watts) Have only drop lens not any FCO or anything like that? I bet there can be FCO large fixtures, I wonder why they don't make them though, they can work for 1000 watts HPS.
gailgrove   [Apr 12, 2011 at 07:14 PM]
FCO is useless any ways in my opinion.
mercuryvaporrocks   [Apr 12, 2011 at 07:43 PM]
I'm not a fan of full cutoff fixtures either.
streetlight98   [Apr 12, 2011 at 08:10 PM]
I'm guessing it's because they aren't high in demand. If you're using 1000 watts, even if you have a flat glass, there's still glare.
Form109   [Apr 12, 2011 at 10:29 PM]
im not Big on FCO myself,but those Revere FCO cobraheads (which i hear are the first FCO Cobraheads) use a cool frosted glass which gives a better light distribution from the FCO optics....IMO Glare Shield over a Drop Refractor is most usable if you want the smooth distribution with the cutoff of flat lenses....i've also noticed FCO Fixtures...namely the OV-25 FCO and M400A/R3 FCO give a striped apperance to the lit pavement even though they seem to do an ok job of lighting in close enough intervals.
