Does anyone know how many amps required to run the Aqua medic Hqi 250W metal halide light pendent with the magnetic ballast ? I’m on an older house with older electric and trying to plan out my power requirements.

You would be safe to add a bit to the wattage for conversion losses so assume 300W
300W/120V = just under 3Amps
