Per haps. I put a 1000 watt mh bulb in a 1000 watt hps ballast.

Only if it is a switchable ballast.If you have a mh ballast you can buy convertion bulbs that will work with the same ballast.OPH

i do this all the time. many argue and say it can't be done.

hmm.... sooooo i could just get an ordinary 70w MH with an ES fitting jam it in and it should work?

mygirls · Mar 4, 2009

screw it in and yes it will work

zognogin · Mar 4, 2009

Yay. Is there any where that sell a 70w bulb for less then £15 to the uk?

mygirls · Mar 4, 2009

i may be wrong but i thought

mh ---> in hps works just fine

hps ---> in mh will not fire

i could be wrong or backwards?
