Simba - could you put in the first / second post what bulbs we want for regular old metal halide ballasts?
There have been a few discoveries and more than a few side roads taken during the thread. MPL and Simba have done a great job of keeping the front page updated by consolidating info in one spot.Hawk said:I now notice post #1 and #2 contain some edits/updates since I last saw them.
Cheers
Yes, Yes, Yes. So it appears.strainwhore said:...and the list goes on and on

Wedge Antilles said:hey just a quick question for you all...I guess everyone here ordered their CMH's from the same place(thanks simba!!!!) is this shipping stealth? plain package? i live in a apt and having one of those delivered may raise a flag. Thanx all----------Wedgy
strainwhore said:That's what I thought after gleaning all the posts. Still, wanted it confirmed by those in the know. Thanks.
So to sum up for those that don't want to read all 107 pages:
Better Light Spectrum
Less Heat
HPS RETROFIT ONLY - unless your Metal Halide Ballast is PULSE START - which I assume most horticultural ballasts are not
Cheaper Bulbs
and the list goes on and on

Thanks Chili.
