I have just returned home to the uk after living for 2 years in holland, I will be starting a grow op here just a small one, and was thinking about getting some ecolights or something like that, but while i was helping my mother with some heavy stuff into the shed, I noticed a box full (like 50) mercury vapour bulbs 125w, I have looked and noticed some people have been using them with quite good results. So, i thought I would ask the city see what you guys think!! I know that mh and hps are better, but these are free and i have an abundance of them and they are just normal screw in bulbs like cfls. Can any body shed any light on the subject............................................................boom boom thanks you im here all week!
sorry just realised from my step dad they do need a ballast i think. but none the less i got a lot of them!!
i dont know anything about those types of lights, but i try to stay away from anything with mercury in it. i got enough in my sushi.
sell them on ebay, they aint worth shit to ya, a 1000 watt MV light is less efficient than 300 watt cfl, just like halogen lights, more heat and problems than anything
