So this is probably some really newb shit but I can't find any threads or info detailing this online.
I've set up a new vertical room and currently have a bare bulb 400w MH running. As the canopy thickens I'm gonna need more wattage and so I've been deciding which of my current lights I want to switch to bare bulb. All my other lights (five 1kw hps, two 400w mh) are in hoods (couple of xtrasun hoods, a raptor hood/etc.) with reflectors, my issue is that after attempting to take apart a couple of them, I find the lamp cords/electrical/etc. to be 'permanently' attached to the hood, or at least I'm not smart enough to disassemble them, perhaps cause I'm scared of breaking stuff.
Can anyone give me some tips or just a quick rundown on the do's and dont's of taking apart lights and removing from hoods?
Any help is much appreciated.
