Replacing Icecap pendants and ballasts

I have five Icecap ballast/pendants running 400 W 6500 K Iwasaki bulbs. I am replacing some older metal halide lights and went purchase more Icecap equipment. I quickly learned that Icecap went out of business in 2010. My priority is to stick with the 400 W 6.5K bulb. I really liked the Icecap pendants because there was no blocked off section of the pendant, i.e. the entire bottom surface cast light. I was gradually replacing Hamilton Tech pendants with Icecaps because the HTs have section of the bottom surface that does not emit light. Suggestions on a good brand of ballasts/pendants compatible with a 400W 6500 K Iwasaki bulb? Replies would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Try CoralVue...I know they took over the fluorescent line, and the pendants look like IC ones.
