Is this a Halide?

Found this light at work,and am not sure if it's a halide or not. Anyone tell for sure? There is no writing anywheres on the bulb. Won't be usin this light but would like to use the ballast and socket if they are halide. Can post a pick of them as well if that will help. Thanks and hope someone can help.

I am not 100% sure but it looks like a high watage MH eather 400W or 1000W.

Hard to say,looks like it could be.Do you have pics of the ballast and socket?Try to get pics of all the labels on the ballast to see if its "tri tap"meaning you could wire it up under differant voltages.

looking at the glass length compared to the socket length I would doubt it is a high wattage one but I could be wrong (just looks small). My guess would be a 50 watt or 75 watt MH but unless there is some labels on the ballast we won't know.

I could be nuts, but it sure looks like a HPS bulb to me.

take another pic and put a toonie or $5 bill or something to give an idea of lenght - we have some massive mh bulbs at work for the lot that i wouldn't think of putting over a tank due to heat. Some camera shots can make things bigger or smaller depending. Personally i have no idea

but i thought i would throw that in

cheers
