Metal Halide Fixtures

I am trying to find a way to use a metal halide bulb in another fixture, as the price of an appliance with metal halide is entirley import Exspensive try to use atleast a 175 watt light bulb metal halide as I want to know is there any other type of lighting that fits a metal halide bulb

Halide lamps need a Metal Halide Ballast, nothing around him. The lamps are as cheap as $ 9.00 and ballast are as low as $ 35.00 to www.depotlighting.com

They again furnishings. http://depotlighting.com/index.php?cPath=49_462_463

The ballast (transformer) is intended for specific lamps. high or low pressure sodium lamps will not work on a bench metal halide, etc..
