Did you say that their system doesn't come with a ballast for $194? I can get a 400w setup at the corner hydro store for that price. I wrote this thread for the people who have inadequate lighting and either WONT or CANT spend that much on lights. Eco - I am not telling you that this is better quality, obviously! I am just pointing out that people can hook up with an HID system for under $50, which is about the price of a 1/4 ounce. Got me?
Be Cool!!

hey guys just figured i'd mention that i found a wholesaler in my city, theyve got to be everywhere, just call a lighting store and ask how much their 1000 watt hps go for. they will give you a number for a guy who sells them by the hundred, cause thats how many he buys at a time from warehouses going down. most stores dont have lights that big, but i found a guy who rebuilds them, gives a three year warrantee, and can put together any configuration you want. obviously dont call from your grow, and dont use your real name. but you might use my excuse, i have a basketball court i need to light up. when in a year from now i go buy another 1000 for 180$ american,or 50 for a 400mh, i'll tell him that i need to light up the other end of the court now, besides, he's a long hair. horizontal with a enclosed hood and glass, 8 foot cord from ballast to hood, 8 foot from 110wall to ballast, worked for me, and he nodded when he threw in 2 extra bulbs, used of course, but heh, anyting yu wan.
hope this helps someone.

i understand where you're coming from fastlearner, doing it on the cheap so to speak. most of us have been there, and it rarely hurts to be frugal. its $139 cdn for 1000 hps with ballast without box(although the ad said it contained one),and its warranteed. boxes are cheap at an electric store.I mainly posted to let people know that there are relatively cheap new light out there, as another option.peace

The octagonal box that thcbc.com says comes with the kit is just the little metal box that the mogul socket is attached to. I ordered a 400HPS from them about 3 weeks ago and was very pleased with it. My total cost was $204CDN without reflector, delivered to the other side of the country. Pretty good deal if you ask me.
