As per the second lable, would be 150 watts maxs on these fixture. Also they might have a loud humming noise.

M58 = 250w Probe Start Metal Halide

Get the correct bulbs (probe start) and you should have no problem.

don't understand the 150W max sticker for a M58 ballast (250W), probably should see what's on the ballast itself.

Here's a link that shows ANSI number to ballast type and wattage (at bottom).
