Hey All,
I just went and picked up my PFO dual 250 watt HQI, PFO reflector, mogul socket , brackets, and 2 250 20k lights from UPS. I can wait to mount it tonite! does anyone here have a pic of the 20k 250 watt alone? and how does it look ?
Thanks Peter

I'm sure you'll need to use two "FC2" sockets for each 250W HQI bulb and not a moghul socket. If the bulb fits your socket then you have to really wonder if your ballast matches your bulb...

If you are doing DIY HQI then you need to use something as an effective UV shield. I've found 0.8mm corrigated roofing polycarb to be a cheap source of UV blocking material.

If he's using 20K Radiums, they are single ended moguls and should be run off an HQI ballast.
