Metal halide socket question

[Ebingham817]

Just bought a metal halide pendant last night, it's a Hamilton technology 250 watt and the socket keeps arcing and I think they are bad, is there any local stores or fish stores that sell sockets like r7s I believe.

Is it double ended or single? Marine depot had the single ended for 5$

Sorry double Ended, the Old bulb on the part were it connected was all melted and warped

Yuck. That might be hard to find local. A T like above might have it or some hydroponics store. 13$ on marine depot if you can wait

I got a couple 175 bell pendants you can borrow. Maybe someone else has something better.
