yes it look like a down light. how this mh light work and what kind of price it be, believe that this boon keng fs is not selling it stuff cheap.

i think its MV and not MH.. thats the bioplast distributor in SIN
what does mv stand for?
thomas liew
get MH instead. if you're gonna go for MV, just go ikea instead. get a spotlight from them..
-------------
MV= Mercury vapour
MH = Metal halide
MV no need ballast and all... MH need.
all need ballast
the mv in my room has a ballast in the part that joins to the wall
in terms of intensity and effectiveness regarding the type of lights to planted tank
1)MH
2)MV
3)PL
4)FL
jus my 2 cts
so what is so different of a Mercury vapour lighting than a pl light? does it have some feature that a pl don't? and what is the price range?
thank[:]
If for a bigger tank, MH is more appropiate. Smaller tanks like 2ft or 3ft having PL or FL is still okay but it's best using MH Or MV they both give the plants a smile =)
Cheers!
