Reefmaniac Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Has anyone converted a "shop light" fixture that handles the HQI type bulbs into a regular HQI MH setup? I know it needs a ballast, just wondering if anyone has actally done it. Link to comment
birdman204 Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 It is fairly simple, buy the ballast , and the bulb, getsome extra wire on hand so you can have a long cord on the fixture, Just wire the ballast to either side of the receptacle, and throw your bulb in. The 70 W conversions are more common as that light size seems to be more readily available. Do a search for "Regent" to find a few good threads. Link to comment
