Yep, the mogul sockets are the large screw in type that many MH systems use. I like them for their simplicity and cost effectiveness.

Don't get me wron, there are some beautiful new systems out there. For me it was more a matter of the standard ballasts, bulbs, etc. being reasonable to get into in terms of cost, and maintenance. TAR ballasts are reasonably priced and simple to run. Electronic ballasts are compact, cool running, and efficient but many say that they really do not save you much in terms of costs of energy used due to their higher prices.

I look at the TAR ballasts and figure that they replace my heater in the room so I'm really saving money!

Good luck,

Rob
