Here's a odd ICI Lite-Light security light I found from a hardware store. It's a security light from the late 80s that looks like a residential version of a Powr/Bracket. Oddly the ballast is electronic and is integrated with the PC, but it looks like a standard HPS choke and button PC can be fitted when the ballast fails.
It use a 80w MV and came with a Hungarian made (Tungsram?) unbranded brite-white deluxe /DX lamp from September 1987.
Nah that won't work with a merc , 20w chokes have a OCV of 120V while mercs usually need 200V+. The F40 preheat ballasts have a step up in them since the F40 lamps also need a higher OCV. I actually ran a 100w merc off a couple of them before.
I had to rip open a plastic-wrapped pack of cookies with my teeth today (greasy fingers XD), and almost ate some plastic, so I will have to decline this offer of roasted polycarbonate
my ICI tallpack got a 50 watt MV electronic ballast as well. but at least I can replace electtronic component when they go. the best thing to do before put in service is take a close up PICs. incase of you get burnt resistors at least you have a photo to get the correct valule.

well here my PIC of ICI tall pack lit on MV electronic ballast. the link dont work on GOL.
go to funkybulb on Lighting gallery and you can see a pic of my ICI lit
I found a 70 watt HPS version of that. It has an unsual magnetic ballast setup. I also found a pair of ICI 35 watt HPS tallpacks at the same place, though they have conventional ballasts.

@Niall, thanks! I got it from a Truvalue in Elora.
