So, I need HPS for my flowering, but these apparently take metal halide lights. I am wondering if you think they would be worthwhile to buy (again, all that is in the picture is around 40 dollars), or maybe I should just save that money and put it toward a decent used HPS(that I can use MH bulbs in if I veg again)? I am very indecisive on this matter, as I am pretty inexperienced as far as growing is concerned. Thanks again
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
