the lamp has a sight tint..the camera with which i shot the photos just exaggerated it

You could try using a manual voltage stabaliser to raise the voltage to the desired rating which is around 250v.Donot overdo who knows if it blasts off.But his does work. Secondly MHs lamps has the tendency to impart this tint for around 200 hrs.Afterwards it would be just fine. Enjoy onnnnnnnnnnnn.

PLease suggest what type of stepdown converter would be best to work it out in indian voltage. Please provide the name and location where it would be available.
