If you do that after all this advice to the contrary, you are a good candidate for a Darwin Award. DON'T DO IT. A few CFLs will give you as much light as a 50w hps anyway- those things are kinda pointless- and yes, I too have grown some ugly stretched plants under a security light back in the day... NOT WORTH IT.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic 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.
