Approximately one year ago I purchased a 160 watt self ballasted Mv bulb to add to my assemblage of UV lights and flourescent daylight bulbs. I am wondering if it would be worthwhile to go ahead and purchase a ballast kit, and standard mercury vapor bulbs. Has anyone had any experience using both types of bulbs? Do externally ballasted bulbs outperform self ballasted ones? Any insight would be appreciated, and would help me make a decision. Thanks in advance. Tom
