A zero watt metal halide works without a ballast. The one at ma's house that's a security light has a ballast in the base of the light fixture.

yes. it is a 200 watt MH that has a internal balast built in. no 2 chords/mounting balast crap. Its great for tight rooms.
Can you get one here, in this galaxy? A "self-ballasted" Metal Halide bulb, this I've got to see!

All gas-discharge lights require a ballast.
Almost all wattages of gas-discharge lights can be obtained with fixtures including the ballast.
As far as I know an 18000 watt MH bulb is the largest you can get right now.
Though the largest fixture with a built-in ballast I can find is 1500 watts.
