make sure you have the correct ballasts, probably the reason for the popping of the bulb (you most likely used a non digital ballast which are bulb type specific).

cheers for that guys but not its all correct the ballest and bult its an old lighting unit which was AQUIRED from outside a very large building years ago and its been in the shed since
i took it out to see if it worked and it did for about 5 mins in the shed then pop so i presume it was past its use by date
Now then
i have just been and collected them lights from a friend and oh my god there beautiful
they have MH narva nct 1000w bulbs in them i think they might be a tad too powerful for my plants lmao

metal halide get hotter than cfl's and produce more energy. As long as you have room for them I would say go ahead and snatch em. Use a hps for flowering, always prime buds
