Well, the guy is going to send me some pics of the lights today. I am just figuring that after cord (about 2-5 dollars/ft) a conversion bulb (about $90) and a new reflector ($40-$70), my money could probably be better spent on an Craigslist or Ebay HPS light system that will run MH if necessary? Not to mention the time it would take to get the materials to fix the lights and the other supplies to run them for flowering. Kinda seems like it would be a headache that could potentially cause electrical hazards? But I am not totally sure, as I have never worked with these types of lights before.

When I get the pics, I will put them up and, if you feel like it, you can let me know if you think they would be worth it. I appreciate your time, Man
happymedicine Reviewed by happymedicine on . Mercury Vapor and HPS Lighting Hey All! I was wondering if a mercury vapor light that says M59 and 4H33 on it is basically stating it is compatible with Metal Halide and HPS bulbs? This may be a rudimentary question, but I am just learning about lighting. I have been using fluoros, and have decided to make the switch to HPS for a primary lighting. I just received an offer from a guy to buy a couple HPS (so he says) lights for around 40 bucks. The only catch is that I will have to splice on some extra cord to plug Rating: 5
