Does it take Metal Halide bulbs?

you need a ballast so absolutely not a metal halide bulb has the same mogul bas as the fluorescent so it would fit in this fixture but do not do it, it will not work once again metal halides and sodiums need a ballast and this does not have one

Yes it does. I use it in conjunction with 4 2.5 wt, 110 volt LED lightbulbs.

I believe it does. Very happy with this lamp. They very seldom fail. If you are talking about the inside bulb, yes will take any CF Bulb. The outside never fails.

yes it does, just make sure when u buying the bulbs some of them are with tiny sockets they wont fit :)) i put on mine 3 dofferent colors. They are slightly longer but its ok for me :)

No, it does not. It takes two 40 or 60 watt bulbs. I'm not able to check it at the moment.

Yes it does. It has led type bulbs. I pretty sure they are not replaceable though, but they are supposed to last a long time.

Don't know but the thread of the bulbs are small. Does not take standard bulbs

it depends what kind of fixture is, if its a t5 fixture that will take t5 bulbs, t8 t8 bulbs, and so on and so forth

Yes it does. But it takes as short a bulb as you can find. The shades could stand to be made a little taller. I ended up using some short instant on CFL's. It looks great on or off. Nice fixture.

Absolutely not! This is a magnetic ballast. Unless there is some type of self igniting metal halide bulb I am unaware of, you can not mix and match with metal halides like electronic ballasts. This is a high pressure sodium only. You may wish to contact hydrofarm for confirmation. I feel confident in this answer though.

No. Just the metal part if the lamp. Both of my lamps work great and I have had no problems.

Yes they do. If you plan on running HIDs in them, i would suggest some kind of a shield to direct the output better. When I put in mine there was a lot of scatter, I assume because there is a lot more output than halogen.

It will work with halogen bulbs, will save you money and the bulbs won't heat up that much and last longer.

Nope. The LED's require a special driver that is built into the base. You might be able to find LED style replacements for the halogens though.

you use metal halide bulb for flowering, completely different type of bulb and ballast.

Yes, it will take standard Edison screw based bulbs. It is shipped with an Edison screw based CFL, but you can use a standard A-19 bulb if you wish, perhaps in conjunction with a dimmer switch.
