CMH + HPS hood(fixture) + or no ballast???

explaination.



i bought a phillips mastercolor 250watts from advancedtechlight Verticale position


so now i needed a "place to put it in" fixture....


i had no idea since all the fixture i found were for horizontal only so i pick this one

now my first question is


Can my Ceramic Metal Halide be hooked in this
HPS 17" High Bay

250watts
120volt

????


also it say "cord n plug include" does it mean it doesnt require a "magnetic ballast"


???


also can you tell me if i do need a magnetic one can the lumatek work???

or its another eletro shit that dont work with CMH????

you already bought it? how much did you pay? www.htsupply.com has a 250w hps w/reflector/bulb/remote ballast/cord and its all set up for you already for about $120, all you gotta do is take it out of the box and plug it into a normal household socker and then screw the bulb in. www.htgsupply.com/growlights.asp?categoryID=1&subcategoryID=155&typeID=56
anyway, from my understanding the cmh needs a ballast specially made for it, but i could be wrong.

im outside the usa but someone still answer

Hello GBW, I've been looking into the ceramic metal halide bulbs myself. This link is as informative as I have found so far. Hope it is helpful.
