http://www.1000bulbs.com/product.php?product=2639 i picked up a 250 watt mh bulb today and i need a fixture and this seems like it might work thanks in advance
You should have bought the whole lot as a package. Not only would it have been cheaper, but it would also all work together. You need a ballast as well as the fixture, as well as a refector and bulbs.
i would have got the whole deal but i went to home depot and they didnt have anything for mh's. they only had wall mounted fixtures for hps bulbs.
Well thats the first problem, Home depot is not the place to get growing lights unless your after a cheap Fluro light set-up. You need to find a Hydro shop, it will be able to supply you with everything from lights , refelctors, ballasts, bulbs, mylar and anything else you may need. They will be able to put together a package to suit your needs.
