    Default Smaller MH bulbs

    Hello

    Looking to see if anyone has found a smaller size MH bulb, I don’t mean wattage but physical size. I’m running a reduced sized cool tube and the bulbs are massive compared to my hps.

    Anyone found a 600 watt that’s smaller than the norm please let me know

    Happy growing

    Whilst mine is 250w, I'm sure it is slightly smaller than my dual spectrum bulb?

    Should I just stick with the dual rather than switching bulbs as that dual is smaller

    Whilst I have an MH bulb, I also have a cool tube - & it's a PITA to swap bulbs, so I just use my Sunmaster....

    the first mh I bought was from a garden centre, was no bulb as such it was encased and sealed as a unit, it ran cooler ballast was inbuilt but it was not heavy, police took it one time and it was gone forever, have looked at buying another but they are way out of my price range nowadays
