Questions about this item

How much power does the 70W MXR70/C/U/MED metal halide bulb draw when it runs all day?

The lamp is rated at 70 watts, so it will consume roughly 70 watts continuously while operating.

What fixture or ballast do I already need to run the GE 22162 metal halide bulb?

A fixture with a medium base socket and a matching 70W metal halide ballast is required for the lamp to start and operate.

Will the 3200K colour temperature of this bulb match the older halogen lamps I am keeping in the same space?

At 3200K the light is a warm white similar to many halogen sources, so it should blend well with existing halogen fixtures.
