I got the 1000w light ballast in.
The place I ordered it from sent the wrong one, I ordered a pulse start ballast set, they sent a non plus start for self ignition bulbs.
But I wired it up it works. I just wanted the pulse start to remove any possibility of the bulb not igniting. Luckily the lamp has such low internal resistance when cold that the 440 open current volts developed by the ballast are enough to ignite the bulb.

The UV put off by this lamp actually creates Ozone, in sufficient quality to where I can smell it.
