Yes, they will extend when you do not have sufficient lights for them

Mine extended when I had my 150w halides and became really short after i blast them under the 250w :lol:

But if you tame me, we shall need each other.

To me, you will be unique in all the world.

You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
