I recently got my hands on 5 trackspots by high end systems. These are spotlights that shine on a mirror that can be controlled horizontally and vertically. Most of the transformers used for the lights are dead and i want to give these lights new life.

Currently, the main lamp is a philips qt 8500:
250 Watts
24 V ac
9000 Lumes
My rough plan is something is this:
Use a computer power supply to provide voltage to a car hid ballast.
This seems to be my cheapest option, however i dont know if there is anything im missing.
Would they project enough light or are theyre any unforeseen issues with using a computer power supply to drive? the ballast
Line voltage (120v ac) --> Computer PSU --> 12v Dc. (32 amps) -->Hid Ballast --> Hid lightbulb (5000k)
Here a picture of the insides if anyone was wonder, i pulled the control board/light holder out of the unit.
