Lantern conversion « on: November 27, 2019, 01:23:43 PM » Author: Mandolin Girl
We are thinking about getting a damaged Gamma 6 (or similar post top) lantern and converting it to accept our MA/V lamp.  :)
If there isn't room in the lantern we will make it remote ballasted.

If you go the remote ballast route, you can modify a bracket to hold both a MV socket and a SOX socket. then you'll have the option of the awesome warm orange light or the cool blue-green light. Or even run both at the same time to get .... Whatever color that would be lol.

That's an interesting idea, we might take you up on it. The lamps might not like it though.!!  :D
