Whelp I agave the chance to buy a highboy MH light for 15 bucks. I still like the light from MH best. Obviously the stock lamp would be useless. I know from times past that most MH lamps were on their sides. My thoughts though are that since this is a cube I might be able to get away with it. I’ll probably ask in the lighting forum if anyone has done it and how it worked out for them. If nothing else buying the fixture would give me a ballast and a mogul socket lol but I would think everyone would have been using them if they could be used as they are.
