i bet if you even tried it and it worked that you would have a serious fire hazard on your hands without using the ballast made for that particular bulb
cigarettes42 Reviewed by cigarettes42 on . HPS in a regular lamp? Does a hps bulb require a special fixture i know ive read alot about these ballast for the real high wattages but for a 50 watt or so hps bulb does it need any kind of special fixture or can any fixture that can handle that wattage support a HPS bulb, Thanks in advance.
