my ballast work with double ended MH?

[mindless_fool]

i got a ballast for a regular metal halide bulb of 400 watts ...it has a mongul base ..i was wondering if i could use that ballast for a $400 watt double ended metal halide by just switching the plug from mongul to the double ended

thanks for any help

no you cant do that. only an electronic ballast can do so
