Can I use this for a DE bulb without switching the bulb connectors?Also can I run double end bulbs off of a magnetic ballast?
Anyone have a closeup of a de fixture that shows the socket?

The halogen light sockets are different fromt the 70 - 150W DE or the 250-400W DE MH bulbs.

Also, you need a HQI or electronic ballast to fire DE bulbs.

Oh well,in the junk box they go(for now :mrgreen: )

Interesting. I didn't know the 70w MH fit in these. My bad Jim (or should I call you Jum like snaggle? :mrgreen: )

crap :eek: I need to proof reed more often sorry Jim :biggrin:

:lol: :lol:

:rofl: Now that is funny!!

With a dremel rotory tool you can shape the ceramic holders, wire in a new ballast and you're set. I believe it's the 500w Halogen unit that holds the larger DE tubes but again you need that rotary tool to shape the ceramic end pieces.
