You must use a conversion bulb , regular HPS bulbs will not work in a MH fixture.

It will work just fine. I switch a 1000 watter bulbs mh and hps in a 1000 watt socket. I thought my mine was swichable. I did it for a few grows. I then bought a different light second hand went to the grow shop and learned that mine was not switchable. I have had no problems. Screw it in and turn it on.

Its not 100% by the book but it will work or spend more $ on a new light. It will be ok.
