Thank you. I was referring to the integrally ballasted one, but this information is helpful too.

That's a very cool light also.  It's amazing they packed everything into a slip fitter as components were a bit bulkier back then.  Did it have a sticker or are there any ballast labels you can go by to pick the right lamp for it (assuming it didn't come with a lamp?)

Actually it Did come with a lamp. No etch on it though. I got it from my uncle's friend, who's an electrician. It's 175w. No labels inside. He said the lamp was Sylvania
