dunno about 150 watt but I have 250 watt MH 14,000k and nothing will overpower that. It does not even make much difference if I light up the T5 or not.

Maybe something is wrong with your ballast?

been on for an hour now and they still seem dim. and when i turn on the T5HO lights that i left on (170 watts total) it completely overpowers the metal halides to the point where i cant even see the shimmering at all.

what gives?
