I got a 1000 watt metal halide bulb. Does it have an internal ballast or do I need to buy a separate external one?

If all you have is the bulb, you need a ballast and a reflective fixture that will support that bulbs wattage. You have to buy the whole package, you cant just screw this bulb into any fixture.

To answer your question, no. The 400 watt ballast will only operate a 400 watt lamp. If you want to use a 1000 watt lamp you need to purchase a 1000 watt ballast.

My light bulb did not work so I bought a new bulb. It ended up being the ballast.

No, no ballast and no housing for his bulb. This unit is for halogen h1 set up or aftermarket h1 hid kit.

the ballast has to be HPS and wattage compatible. if you can afford it, the best is the dual arc 1000w

Yes, this is an LED Light fixture - no need for a ballast. The original were a small flourescent tube hence the ballast. It is actually a nice replacement - very bright. Good day.

Can be directly connected , put a small fan on the backside of the internal ballast . The vents on the opposite side the light is on , it helps .

Yes. This bulb does need a ballast. This particular bulb is meant to run off of an 400 watt high pressure sodium ballast with an S51 mogul socket.

Please look inside cardboard tube for instructions, because one company you wire only one end and there you wire both ends. YES you remove the ballast, because it is not needed. I have install 10 light fixtures and ordering more. Some show the wiring on the label at one end of the tube which is were you connect the wires.

If it's the same ballast as the kit with two bulbs, hood, ballast and cords. Yes. But this bulb is more for a hps only type ballast. Maybe it's cheaper to buy a metal halide bulb

I used that bulb in a digital and a magnetic 1000 watt ballasts worked fine but only lasted 6 months and no warranty. I replaced it with one from a local grow store with a year warranty for $60 and don't have to mess with damaged bulbs in shipping and the wait.

No. These are just projectors/lenses. They have wiring for the internal LEDs, but the actual headlight bulbs and everything are not included. They are built for the oem halogens which would not have ballasts. If you have oem hids, I do not believe that this will work for you. Aftermarket hids can be applied as long as you use the oem halogen bulb size (wanna say h7 off the top of my head)
