Its just a MH, they work fine for growing but wont work in your HPS fixture, you will need a MH ballast.

OK
It says 120volt and standard socket but needs to be able to handle the heat!
If I need the balast what size?but the way I read says nothing about it,so please do help here..

bulb and ballast MUST MATCH,same watts for bulb and ballast,you need a metal halide bulb for a metal halide ballast and a high pressure sodium bulb for a high pressure sodium ballast, unless you have a digital ballast then you can run hps or mh in them,or at least I can both of my digital ballasts.
