You can't accurately guage a MH lamp without consideriing the ballast. Radiums look great overdriven on an "HQI" ballast -- less so on say an Icecap electronic or old style tar cap
and coil.

+1 forgot about this... I was using 2 400 watt PFO HQI Ballast running around 5 amps and it gave the bulbs a nice pop. You could also cook eggs on the ballast because they were so hot, lol.
