K. Since i am a total noob I need some answers here. All I get is acronyms and abbreviated terms when it comes to people's descriptions of lights. Can someone point me in the direction of a good breakdown (with pics possibly) of all the different lighting mess?
Is it possible to use some standard lamp housings as your lighting if you replace the bulbs? Do you have to replace the lamp's "innards?" What exactly is the ballast of the light? Do all lights have ballasts or just ones that are super duper reef lights? Are some of the super duper reef lights compatible with regular old lighting fixtures?
BTW, I am totally a noob.
