Galeer Well-Known Member Apr 22, 2008 #2 what i know is your ballist must have a switch for MH or HPS if you dont have it i dont think it would be safe to use different bulb

M muyoso Well-Known Member Apr 22, 2008 #4 I am fairly certain that you can buy a bulb called a "metal halide conversion bulb" that will work in any HPS ballast of the same wattage.
