Hey, just a general question

Got my hands on a 600w HPS with balast for cheap, everything works perfectly fine on it and its only to see me through till i get a new one

Anyway i was just wondering, im not sure how old the bulb is in there so i was gonna change it but i think my drobe can only handle a 400w till i get new extraction

So... Would a 400w bulb work in a 600w reflector and balast, and if so, would it be electricly safe, dont want no fires and getting the street high lol.gif

Cheers for any replys

Oh right cheers guys, looks like i will just have to wait till i upgrade my extraction

Cuz there is no way im giving up a 600w HPS and keeping 100w of CFL

With a view to the future, I reckon the logical pairing with a 600 watt HPS is a 250 watt.

How big is your space ?

it will work in the refletor, but not the ballast!
