I was just wondering if you can use the same light fixture for metal halide bulbs and mercury vapor bulbs, because the only fixture's I can find in this town are either mercury vapor or high pressure sodium.

Im gonna go out on a limb and guess no, im pretty sure thats how fires are started.......

find a hydroponics store online and order yourself a MH/HPS ballast.

htgsupply.com has one, i paid like $170 for it.

lol, if you take care of everything, you wont have to worry about fires, make sure nothing burns you, fires dont start untill 200+ degree's, and unless it electrical you shouldent have to worry about it, but get mh/HPS dont get that other rubbish.
