HPS bulbs and ballasts
hey guys,
i was wondering if anyone could tell me about High Pressure Sodium light bulbs. i hear they are the best kind to use. i bought a 70 watt one and it doesnt work in regular light sockets. apparently i need a ballast or something. can anyone tell me: how to use them? should buy a kit off of the internet? are they hard to assemble? can i wire the ballast to an extension cord and plug that into the wall or would that be too much for the breaker? what wattage should i get? i have a 70 watt but i have seen 250+ watts. one last question, would these type lights be ok to use in a closet or would it get to hot and be a fire hazard? trying to become a grower with the hot setup. any info you can provide would be awesome. thanks for the responses. keep on growing311junkie Reviewed by 311junkie on .
