MH and HPS conversions

[karmaxul]

You can but you need to know how to rewire the ballast to take the HPS igniter out of the circuit. all it takes is one slide switch and you can run MH bulbs and HPS bulbs.

Mh use transformer to cap to socket and HPS use transformer to cap to ignator to socket.

Get it?

But you can't go from Mh to HPS by adding an ignator. most MH transformers have one less wire to power the ignator. It takes 2 different voltages to light up and run the HPS bulbs.

Well I found my answer thanks again Zandor

They make MH conversion bulbs that can be used with both MH and HPS ballasts. and They make HPS conversion bulbs that can be used with both MH and HPS ballasts. Is this right? So, if I wanted to use MH during veg and HPS during flowering, I could buy a MH system and an HPS conversion bulb, or I could buy an HPS system and a MH conversion bulb, right? Rating: 5
