I bought a cheap ($45) 150 watt HPS floodlight. I noticed the label has a "slash" rating for the amperage: 3.2/1.6 amps. The fixture is 120 volt only.
I'm assuming 3.2 amps is the starting current and 1.6 amps is the running current once the lamp has heated up. Correct?
I hope I get at least a year out of this light before the ballast craps out. We'll see...It's a Lumark (Cooper Lighting) BTW.
