Can i change de mh socket to se socket in my reflector?

[bct15]

Can I swap the double end mh socket for a single end mh socket in my icecap reflector by simply replacing the sockets?

Thanks
Brandon

Should be able to.

You can, but the ballast won't fire a Single Ended Lamp. They fire differently. HQI is a different fire than a SE lamp. Unless you have a Ballast that will fire both.

Thanks, this is where I get confused...how do people run single end radiums on hqi ballasts? I have lumatek selecta watt ballasts and icecap 250w e ballasts.

The reason I said it should work is I Have a PFO HQI ballast that worked with se Radium bulbs.

There are some out there. At that point you'd have to watch out for which SE bulbs you got.
