150W HPS light bulb??

[ravenspyz7]

Hello all i recently purchased this 150w light setup from ebay and i recently looked for a replacement bulb and none of them look the same as this one they are all a lot fatter. When i emailed the guy who sold it to me and asked what type it was he gave a bullshit reply of "150watts, and it needs to have the same screw". I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of bulb or type this is by the picture or the info and where i could purchase one. Any and all advice would be helpful thanks

Hi,

From the info your provided I can see that your ballast will operate a 150w hps OR a 150w MH bulb. I've seen 150w hps bulbs that look like the one in your pic but I looked at the Home Depot website and they have a hps that is fatter... so they must come in both sizes. All the bulbs I saw at online grow sites looked like the fatter type of hps. If you have an indoor gardening store they would sell a hps that would probably have a little better spectrum than the Home Depot bulbs but that's only a guess... HD sells theirs for $21 and my local hydro stores website has them for $23 so if you have a local grow shop stop in and they probably have them in stock... or Google it and pick your supplier.

Happy Growing!

They do not need to look the same if they are 150W HPS or MH. You have an electronic ballast, so it will fire either HPS or MH bulbs. In higher wattages, HPS bulbs are generally long and skinny like the one pictured, however in lower wattages, many of the HPS bulbs are shaped more like bulbs.
