    Metal Halide question

    It blows fuses and I'm not using it, but I am saying it does work that way. I know, but I did it as a test because I wasn't sure if it was the bulb or the fuses. I replaced the bulb and the fuses are still popping. Now I guess I'll fix the ballast somehow. I have no idea who can do this for me.

    Lighting question

    Would changing the 10000k MH bulb to 14000k or 2000k and then changing 2 PC to 14k and then the other 2 pc to actinic be effective? Also are there differences in kinds of Actinic lighting? I see there are 03 and 05 and true actinic I'm not sure the difference.
