I have been searching with what would be little success to find a dual MH ballast for 175w SE bulbs that is electric. Does such a thing exist? Right now, I have 2 honkin' huge ballasts, each controlling its own separate bulb. I want to downsize and consolidate.

If you can provide a link or a manufacturer, that would be great.

Also, I understand that EVC makes an elec 175w ballast, but I can't find a site that lists it - anyone know where I can find it?

Thanks for the link, but that is to a single metal halide ballast. I am looking for a dual electronic metal halide ballast. :)

Hamilton has one.

About half way down the page.

I have that one, came with a complete set up. Think I have had it for 6 + years now. Works great and never had an issue with it. Very cool to the touch.

You can sort of see it in this picture. Near the left on the little glass table.

Not sure what type of connections you will need, but mine came with two of these (( can't get a picture of the outlet itself, but here is the plug )) Don't know if they all come like that, but it seems like it from looking at their site.
Edit -- please ignore the dust, its been the maid's year off. ;)

The only dual 175w electronic I know of is the Blueline eballast.
