Hey guys. I was just wondering if I were to buy a 250w HPS or a MH bulb, could I screw them into my regular light fixture that I used for CFL's? I know I would need a fan but I'm just wondering if it would work or blow me up ha. :joint: Peace.:peace:

the bulb must be connected to a ballast. also the ballast must be rated to the same watts at the bulb. you fuck around with that shit and not get it right your asking for a boom! or a fire.
