The next thing to check is how the light is

supported. Does it require a light stand or

does it require to be hung from the ceiling. In

most cases you will be able to make your own

stand if you feel that you are not willing to

fasten a few hooks and chains to your ceiling.

Also check to see if the electrical fittings

suit your needs. Will they plug straight into

your system at home or do you need an adapter?

Maybe you might require an extension cord with

your purchase. Most HID kits can only take a

specific wattage of bulb and a certain type of

bulb. If you have a 600W HPS system, then you

should only use 600W HPS bulbs. Some lighting

kits have something called a 'switchable

ballast' (Figure 5.14). This means that you use

both MH and HPS lights with the system. Check

your kit for further details.
