2000watt

I was given this monster with the matching balast a little while ago.
is it a metal halide? other than it being made by phiips and 2000 watt I can't read much on the bulb, the info is on the back side.

its bloody massive, too big for practical use really. What to do with it?

WOW. i want that...... to bad you guys are at 50hz,220...

thats pretty damn cool. you could always heat your house with it...

in all likelyhood it was probably a light for a very large building with a high ceiling... ive never heard of a 2kw bulb before very cool.

Your power meter wheel will be spinning at warp speed.

I've seen stuff like that used in paint shops before.
Dries the paint and shows EVERY flaw in the body work/prep , paint job,sanding etc.

Yeah I was told it was the kind of light used for sporting ovals and tennis courts. Maybe one day if I get solar panels I'll give it a shot, power consumption would be a nightmare.

that makes more sense actually, it looks like its setup for a flood light.
