Do hydroponic Grow Lights (MH & HPS both) necessarily need a ballast or would they work without one?
ok im working on an all DIY and hand made experimental water culture system and im almost done with it except the lights and lighting related material and issues… now i know what i need if i was to purchase a final product from stores but i just needed to know if its possible (of course not with too much risk or problems, plz explain if u know of any) to use a mogul based grow light with a medium base converter directly without using a ballast or do i HAVE to use a ballast? I hope i made myself clear enough but let me know and i’ll add more details or clarify exactly what im taking about! Thx
The need for a ballast is a function of the light fixture type you use. If you have a florescent tube system, you almost certainly need a ballast.
