I don’t think that makes it run off of hps ballast. That is just a different base that the bulb screws into. Would allow you to run a ceramic metal halide bulb in a hood that was originally desired to hold hps bulb.

They are higher efficacy than hps and more natural appearing. Some people like them a lot.

Everything hlg sells is led, and I do have a fixture that uses products from them. But that isn’t fixture I’m currently using.
