Are there any single ended bulbs that I can use on a 150W HQI ballast? I recently purchase a 150W HQI ballast and I already have a retro SE (reflector, socket, etc) setup on hand. I prefer not to buy a pendant so are there and SE bulbs I can use? TIA.

I'd buy a new ballast. Mixing and matching on ballasts is likely to cause trouble of some sort.

There is an Iwasaki 150wattSE rated at 50,000K, but its really more like a 16,000K if you can imagine that.

Its a medium base SE bulb (not mogul), and I dont think its HQI rated. The only 150watt HQi rated bulbs are all the DE bulbs Im afraid.
