I have been trying to get a definitive answer to this question.
I was reading the
DIY links that Carmie posted a couple of weeks ago.
I have seen this
ATJ's Marine Aquarium Site - DIY - 150W
Metal Halide Light, before and thought it looks like a cheap east way to light my next 20g project. So....I have a couple of questions.
Will any 500 halogen work light fixture work? The link seems to have been posted somewhere outside the US.
Will any 150 watt
ballast work with a watt DE bulb? I was looking at this one
BallastWise - HID E-B DXE150HID1,
How do you wire a DE bulb? is there one side for
hot and one for neutral?
Are the ends on US bulbs compatible with the work light ends? I believe they are rx7's?
I have been looking at this project off and-on-for a couple of months, any body tried it out there?
