* Fits 150W HQI
* German Made
* This holder is the "deluxe" version with spring-loaded mounting points for the double ended bulbs (both sockets are spring loaded). It difffers from the "basic" version in that the duel sockets are much thicker. Look closely at the picture above and you can see one of the spring loaded sockets.
* Sockets made of corrosion/heat resistant resin, not plastic.
* Approx dimensions: 1.5" high, 7.5" long, 1.75" wide socket base with 1.2" round sockets.
* Dimensions remain the same with bulb inserted.
* Our 150/175W electric ballast will work with this socket.
* This is the more popular of the 2 versions. No worrying about bending the contacts points out of shape!
* When mounting a Ushio UHI-150 bulb into this socket, make sure not to touch the quartz sleeve with your bare hands. All fingerprints should be wiped off with a clean cloth soaked with alcohol.
* Do not mount without a UV filtering glass shield!! This bulb will put out UV radiation which can damage your eyes and skin, as well as your animals in the tank. The bulb MUST BE burned behind a protective glass sheet.
