    I dont know but they dont look very heavy at all, but if you're going to pick up 750 of them i guess it doesn't really matter as much.

    Being metal halide they have a ballast in them and will have some weight to them.

    the ballast is the heaviest part I had 50 simular lights last month after the breakdown I cleared a lil over 1k mind you I recieved them free. Needless to say I am looking at a total of 17 total from two different online auctions and I was wondering to myself were they worth the cost of fuel for me to bid and travel. if this helps you 5 balasts on a simular fixtures were 125lbs tin and copper included.
