ballasts

hiya ppls umm ballast question can i use a hps an mh bulbs in a normal screw socket r do i have to buy a ballast kit to hang it in

ballaist kit needed great prices where i got mine @ Welcome - InsideSun

so the MH conversion bulb is exactly wat an extra bulb r wa?

As stated, you need a ballast. You will also have to decide what wattage you want and what "flavor" of light you want to use because they are not interchangeable. A 400MH ballast runs a 400MH lamp...a 400hps runs a 400 hps lamp....etc.

A conversion lamp allows the user to switch from Halide to hps..or vice versa, using the SAME ballast by merely screwin in a new *conversion* lamp.

good luck

bt dt

so is there no way i could jus use a screw socket only an plug it in an wat will happen if i do

if you have a bunch of money to waste on a bulb like that then go buy a ballast! sshiish. lol.... i dont know what would happen, try it and report back with your findings.

It'll either blow up in yer face, caressing you with hot shrouds of broken glass

or it'll do nothing.

Either way, yer fucked.

FIRE FIRE YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE.The ballast and the bulb has to match the watts and If they are MH or HPS. MH ballast,MH blub of the same watts.HPS ballast,HPS blub of the same watts.Any thing elis will cause a fire or injury to yourself. Peace

I have 3 ballasts and they all run either metal hilaide or hps and there is no switching involved ,just look for one with hailide/sodium on it and your away
