so I was thinking about buying this light for my closet grow and was wondering if it would be a decent buy or if i should look for something else? New Metal Halide Grow Light - 400 Watt - plus 2 Bulbs - eBay (item 140230994263 end time May-13-08 22:14:41 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140230994263&indexURL=0&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting)

ask them how oldit is,how long the bulbs have been used stuff like that,it may look in good condition (well looked after) or it may have had a paint job to make it look good. I just bught an envirolite 6500k grow bulb,the advert said it had only been used once and was a month old,when it arrived,it was brown and discoloured on what was obviously the top,thisto me indictes a lot more then used once,it may have been on 24/0 for a month,but i've never known a bulb discolour like that in 1 month.
If moneys tight,then it may be your best bet,but a dule mh/hps ballast light and reflector is a better choice.but i'm no expert,see what other people have to say b4 making a desision...keep it green. . .B:)NG
They say it's new,but the wording on the endwith the cabels coming out looks faded,but that could just be a bad photo.ask if it has a warrantee/guarantee
