How does the bulb actually convert from MH to HPS? I have a 400 watt MF-HID ballast so a MH bulb might not be suitable. Thanks.

The bulb itself has a mini capacitor in it that adjust the voltage the output is a actually 360 watts so you lose 40 watts of light output in the conversion it goes from hps to metal halide not sure if itd work on mercury vapor if I understood you correctly

The bulb itself, DOES NOT change from MH to HPS. i "know" of bulbs, that can reproduce both spectrums but they are not cheap.I think youI meant toto say/ have a MH/HPS ballast that can do either bulb, but i

I have wondered the same thing. I have not tried it because I dont want to waste money on bulbs that dont function with this light. Having worked with lighting extensively through out the years i dont think it will work., the ballast probably wont light them and if it does they may not light fully. If any one else tries it please let the rest know. Sorry this wasn't much help

It should because Auto's aren't as sensitive to type of light or length of light as normal plants, but to be safe I would look for a fixture that states that it allows a MH bulb as well as HPS.

They used a generalized description from another headlamp description that apparently used an HB2 bulb, rest assured, this IS an H4 headlamp assembly, I purchased one for my Suzuki motorcycle with the 100/80 watt bulb, it is a great headlamp!

Hello Jackson, yes you can run a Hortilux Super HPS bulb on this socket . And the wattage is up to 1000w.

hps=high pressure sodium mh=metal halide both are high intensity discharge lamps or hid these types of lamps emit alot of heat and do need to have both high exhaust and intake to replenish the co2 in your grow room you will need more than one to grow decent sized plants one will not do i suggest buying hid over leds since they emit heat and can be better controlled than leds i did not get very good results with this light and bought an hid in its place and sold this one on ebay

its is both hps and mh but you have to use hps ballast in order to fire bulb

You can change it, you can even replace it with HID type bulbs. H3 I believe is the type.

To answer your question, no. The 400 watt ballast will only operate a 400 watt lamp. If you want to use a 1000 watt lamp you need to purchase a 1000 watt ballast.

Our catalogs show your truck utilizes 9005 & 9006 bulbs, NOT H4. Please check the owner's manual. Do not know of any way to convert a single filament bulb to a dual filament, plus the mounting in the lamps is different. The only way to do this type of conversion is to find an older generation S10 and replace the entire lamp assembly.

use the mh... this bulb is more than capable... but Id go with a cheaper MH bulb for veg since light is less critical in the veg stage

The ballast will just under drive those bulbs so you will get no than 16 K lumen total because of incorrect bulbs, but they will probably light up just will not be enough juice to get the 5k lumen per bulb and maybe less lumens than the correct bulbs. My guess but sure that's the case now if you had vho ballast you would b in buisness or very high output this one is just HO

A 48" T5 HO bulb is 54watts. If your 48" bulb is only 32 watts, then it's either NOT High Output, or else it's not a T5. If it will fit, you might be able to use your bulbs, but you won't get the light output you paid for when you got that fixture. On the flip side, if you put HO bulbs into a "Normal" fixture, they'll burn out really fast and probably melt down your light sockets as well.

No, you need bulb size "H11." Please be aware that High Intensity Discharge (HID) bulbs require a ballast. These are not replacement bulbs for your stock setup.

I think if you have the option to pick just the basic 9006 bulb, try that instead of the HB4. If you don't have the option, I can't really help with this answer. Srry. Maybe someone else can. Good luck.

As I understand, H4, HB2 and 9003 are interchangeable. Wattage is most important. I stay away from the higher wattage lamps (like 90/100's) and stick to the 55/60's so not to overheat the factory wiring harness. Hope this is helpful for you.

Hello, you need to check if your bulb is h4, ai so, if it helps, because it is the same connection
