Ok, another dumb question (or two)... what is HQI MH? is that the same as double-ended? Do I want those instead of the Mogul type screw in bulbs?
And what about these expensive lighting units with the MH, Actinics, and Moonlights all in one? It seems everyone does the "DIY" thing by buying reflectors, ballasts, bulbs, etc and putting it all together. Is that because doing it DIY gives better lighting or to save on the cost of the all-in-one units?
