Re: Halogen/MHD and short arms deep tanks



Hi Diana

Halogen and Metal Halide lamps are very different. To tell them apart, MHD 
will need a ballast/ignitor to work.  If your lamp has that, then it's a 
MHD if not......

I have a tank that is 24" deep and every time I do work on it I find that I 
wet my sleeves!  It's easier for guys, I just remove my shirt now.
