Can someone please help me find a 250 watt HPS air cooled grow light for under 150 bucks? ive looked everywhere, i cant find anything cheaper then 189.00 air cooled + shipping. ouch! i could go with a light/ballast one like a sunsystem but i dont want the heat in my grow tent from the ballast. Please help!

Thanks for the help Veggi. but yes its too much power. and i dont have the room for a 400 watt. and plus its not air cooled and i would have to pay more for it.

Im thinking about buying just the 250 watt HTG supply kit with reflector and building a cool tube from a Pyrex Bake a round.

hmmm I would think that a 250w and 400w would be same exact size physically, go figure! did you see mellowman's DiY

The only thing I found was this.
Sunburst 250 Watt Metal Halide System (http://www.hydroponics.net/i/384236)
Its not air cooled but I've seen where people will cut a hole in the top and put a 6" flange on it to accept the hose and use it to suck the hot air out.

Or possibly this one from htg for $148
