    Great info from everyone. I was just reviewing my electric bill and it works out to be about .20 per kw. The electric is about .11 and then fuel charge is .09. No wonder my bill is so high, damn them! I think I will start looking into some MH's. What ballasts and bulbs do you guys like? I can't run 220. Wish I could...

    I get my ballast out of Grainger and use South Pacific Sunlight 14k bulbs.
