yeah...its not a real cool tube...just a hanging bulb with a fan under it and a exhaust fan over it..it seems lots of people run them here...
i tried the bulb again...and it's flickering pretty hard...turned it horizontal and the flickering stops....
i checked around and it says the bulb is fine to mount in any way...
i got the bulb at a shop in the boondocks...could it be like a older version,that is horizontal burn only?
i don't think it's the socket,as the hps runs fine...
i would love to ask the makers of the bulb "plantmax" but i can't find them online....
so these expensive bulbs like hortilux ....are they worth the money?
oh and lumtek ballasts run both hps and mh ..i don't really need a convert bulb right?
the more i learn,the less i know...
