ok so according to this article posted by Michael,

There is a link that Chris posted to some mylar tape

I assume that you have to run this tape end to end across the bulb? Doesn't it have to contact the contact points on the bulb itself to allow the bulb to dim without it popping and breaking?

I'm not too sure about the champion lighting thread, but I did figure out the dimmable metal halide ballast for the profilux. After researching and talking to a few people from Profilux in Germany, they are still in the developmental stages of the dimmable metal halide ballast. The only thing on the profilux line that is dimmable, is their t-5 ballast option. Profilux is coming out with their own dimmable ballast. Plus they have LED lighing, which mimics seasons, clouds, and storms.

If you want to simulate the seasons, do as I will be doing. I have 8 14" solatubes to install over my tank. Not sure how much more natural you can get.
lol I live in an apartment. It's awesome that you are going to use those though. I guess you'll be the first MAASTARD with them?
