you can get a conversion bulb, but will lose about 10-20% of the lumens.

I know you can turn a HPS ballast into a MH by disconecting the igniter.

It might be possible to buy an ignitor and connect it up such that it is a working HPS ballast, but I'm not sure.

Thanks, good link.

And, yes, I like to catch super bike races whenever I can. Do you follow any other form of racing?
