I have a 150W HPS lamp. The ballast died on me years ago and I got a new ballast for it. Well I didn't know how to hook it up and there were no instructions so I left it on the back burner for a few years. Last month I got a gig with some electricans and one of them showed me how to hook up the light.

The problem .... the old container with the ballast is too small for the new ballast and the cap. and starter. The new ballast will fit, but not the other stuff. The electricans made it sound like it would be an easy task to get another "box" for the lamp, but so far I haven't been able to find one. The gig is over and I can't ask them any questions .... so I'm wondering if anyone here can tell me if it would be safe to leave the cap. and starter out, and just use the old container to house the new ballast.

I would like to use this 150W HPS in addition to my 430W HPS ... the more light the better right?

If you need pictures I can provide them. Thanks
