Metal Halide
The Metal Halide (MH) function is a ReadyFit function. It allows for quick setup of a metal halide
lights and requires only a minimal amount of input from the user. If more control is desired, the
Light (Other) function should be used.
The Metal Halide function incorporates another feature that is unique to the function called Sure-
on. Sure-on invokes a protection that prohibits the MH bulb from re-fi ring within a 15 minute
window after a power interruption. This insures that the MH bulb does not refi re while it is hot.
