Hey so I picked up three of these ballasts on Craigslist for 5$ a piece. Curious if I can run both 400 watt hps and mh out of them? See pics and lemme know what you know.IMAG0348.jpg IMAG0347.jpg IMAG0349.jpg IMAG0348.jpg

nah. MH only. h33 (mercury vapor bulb) & m59 (mh , typical grow bulb) are the lamps (bulbs) it uses.

400w. mh type bulb should work.
in fact the socket notes the housing & ballast are mh (m59) ready.

the last photo tells you what lamps work. h33. m59. @400w

OK but I should still be able to run a conversion bulb right?

Is it just that the bulbs wouldnt fit the socket? Because the ballast does say HPS, MH, HG?
What the hell is HG anyway?
