Hello.
I've never actually had a metal halide light before. I've always heard that not only does the light cost a lot, but you also get shocked every two months when you open your electricity bill.
I was wondering... Is this relatively speaking because MH generally outputs more wattage than other lights? Or do they actually cost more Per watt compared to other lights?
For example.. Compare 8 X 65 power compact for total 520W vs. MH that outputs 520W (I'm not sure how that setup would be... maybe 260 X 2 or something?). In this case.. would MH still use more electricity than Power Compact?
Obviously I wasn't anything close to engineering major in college... I thought this would be an easy answer for someone out there though.
Thank you everyone. Hope everyone had a good Christmas.
