haha i was going to google for u but got to high
if it says universal then should be good but if it is not burning like it does horiz then i would suggest just and only using it in that position

so i checked it out...i think i know why this is going on..the under light fan blows the blub around a bit...that makes the arc kind of wobble around the the inner tube...the "wobble" looks like a flicker when you look at a wall...
I'm going to run it for a few hours when I'm awake and not medicated...

yeah...its not a real cool tube...just a hanging bulb with a fan under it and a exhaust fan over it..it seems lots of people run them here...
i tried the bulb again...and it's flickering pretty hard...turned it horizontal and the flickering stops....
i checked around and it says the bulb is fine to mount in any way...
i got the bulb at a shop in the boondocks...could it be like a older version,that is horizontal burn only?
i don't think it's the socket,as the hps runs fine...
i would love to ask the makers of the bulb "plantmax" but i can't find them online....
so these expensive bulbs like hortilux ....are they worth the money?
oh and lumtek ballasts run both hps and mh ..i don't really need a convert bulb right?
the more i learn,the less i know...
