Unhappy

I have a Mercury Vapor photo cell operated security light that stopped working. I have confirmed input voltage ok, new bulb, new photo cell. I measured 28VAC at the lamp socket(at night). What should the voltage be. Please explain the theory of operation.

THANKS SPKY.
I JUST GOT DONE SENDING QUOTATION REQUESTS TO A VARIOUS ELECTRICAL VENDORS FOR A STARTER. I WENT TO TWO LOCAL HARDWARE STORES, HOME DEPOT, LOWES, CED, BAY ELECTRIC.
NONE HAD THE PART IN STOCK. SO KNOW I AM PRAYING AND WAITING FOR A RESPONSE.
