You likely could do it, but be aware that it may be overdriven like that.

It won't be overdriven, im asking if it will explode. Likely not, but it's best to have good safety in case something does happen.

It is electronic gear, the other pic shows a Philips DynaVision, I agree with Ash here, it will do `funny` things to the lamp!, although European wire wound gear is compatible with both HPS/MH lamps, the HF gear isn`t, it will more likely damage the ballast not the lamp if you ran a MH in it. But on the plus side it will work HPS lamps fine on 60 Hz.

I think only Urbis lanterns comes with electronic ballast, as all of the new Schreder Sapir 2 lanterns in Qiryat Ata, have magnetic ballast + superimposed ignitors.

Most parts of this lantern made by british Urbis, and Urbis Sapphire, are the british version of the Schreder Saphir. Most of their parts (Especially the PC socket and in the past, also the gear [Parmar]), are made in the UK. Urbis lanterns currently available only with electronic gear, while the original Schreder GIE lanterns, are both magnetic and electronic. There is no relation with Tungsram here.
