400 watt m59?

can a Aluminum 16” High Bay 400 watt m59 be hung over a tank and used. I found a pdf file with a picture i don't know for sure if it is the same name.

I can get one for free if it would work.

Yes,but your limited on bulbs.Because of the bulb pointing down in that fixture.but other than that the m59 is a great ballast and will run most bulbs.

so it would be smart to go ahead and get the ballast and just replace the reflector and socket. I can get a couple of the ballast by themselves. They are also "suitable for moist conditions"

Sounds good to me.Beats paying $40-$50 for a bare ballast.
