I have a 175 watt mercury vapor lamp. Is it possible to put a 175 watt HPS bulb in it?
thanks

No, I don't believe so.

To run an HPS bulb you need to get an HPS ballast.

I was at lowes and they have MH ,MV and HPS I want a HPS the lamp they hve there is 75 watt and 100 watt and 175 watt but they sell 175 watt and 400 watt bulbs.
I want a 400 watt hps system.
