Osram 2000W HQI-T/N Sports stadium Metal halide lamp lit at full power

if you thought the 1000W Metal halide lamp was bright you aint seen nothing yet! the Picture does not do this lamp justice

the lamp is ungodly bright!, im pretty sure I could use it to send morse code messages to the ISS during the daytime! it also kicks out an impressive amount of heat.

I could probably light it up at 3AM piss off the entire neighbourhood, and attract every insect from across the entire UK to my window LOL

it puts out a whopping 200,000 Lumens!, I Have had this lamp for a few years now, but I have only now been able to run it up to Full power thanks to the 2 1Kw Ballasts I managed to score which I posted about earlier :) I ran it by putting both of those ballasts in parallel. (normally this lamp requires a big old 400V mains Choke)

I actually had to run it up part way on 1 Ballast first then switch in the second ballast once it was partially warmed up, as if I had fired it up from cold with both ballasts the inrush current would of blown the arse end out of the 13A fuse in the plug LOL.
